We need more information on *exactly* what you are doing (cwd, what commands are being typed, etc) to have any real idea what might be happening. I'm guessing that it should say /usr/ports/lang/php5/pkg-descr instead, since there is such a file there. You might try something like: $ cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 $ make DESCR=/usr/ports/lang/php5/pkg-descr install clean Kevin Kinsey -- They call them squares because it's the most complicated shape they can deal with.
