The errors surround multiple make commands not getting the files it expects in order. Is this the correct behaviour? make -j 8 install clean install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555 /usr/ports/net/boinc_curses/work/boinc_curses-0.1.9/boinc_curses /usr/local/bin/ install: /usr/ports/net/boinc_curses/work/boinc_curses-0.1.9/boinc_curses: No such file or directory *** Error code 71 ===> Cleaning for boinc-client-6.4.5_4 ===> Cleaning for wxgtk2-2.8.10_2 ===> Cleaning for intltool-0.40.6 ===> Cleaning for boinc_curses-0.1.9_2 1 error This is on a quad core amd64 box. I seem to get this error on a number of ports, for example recompiling gnome2, mysql etc etc. So my CPU never really maxes and the builds take longer than they should. Any ideas? Si
