Ah ok, apology accepted. :^) This is one of the best mailing lists out there! ;^) Um.. I don't have the dhpc tarball in front of me, but generally you can 1. un tar (tar zfx filename) it. 2. cd to the directory that is created, it generally has a similar name to the tarfile. 3. If there is a README you should read through that, and maybe take a look through the Makefile and see if anything needs to be changed, e.g. where files are placed. 4. Type make all install. BUT, to my knowledge the port has been fixed in 3.2 (the current release), as I have installed it. You have a couple choices, but I think the best is to keep your ports up to date. You can use a program called cvsup to do this. You can also use it to keep your system up to date if you choose, but we'll start with the ports. Take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html#CVSUP and let me know if you have any questions. (I hope I'm not opening up a can of worms with this). -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: R.P. [SMTP:dthought@azstarnet.com] > Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 1999 4:43 PM > To: Christopher J.
