Here are the :> messages: : :Yes, I've seen this also. For some reason, either the linux_base :package or pkg_add is broken here, and I'm tending to suspect the :latter at this point since there shouldn't be any attempt to cd to :/compat, nowhere in the packing list does it say to do that. Methinks :a buffer is overflowing somewhere. : :- Jordan I had similar problems trying to install the latest linux_base onto a system which previously had the old (/compat/linux) version. I wound up having to rm -rf /compat/linux and /usr/compat/linux and then doing the make install, which worked. It created /usr/compat/linux and didn't seem to care that no /compat/linux existed. However, other linux programs (e.g. the linux netscape) still look in /compat so I had to create a softlink from /compat/linux to /usr/compat/linux in order for netscape to run. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
