Hi Thomas, > Did you install any of these ports of autoconf? yes, autoconf-2.59_2 is currently installed. > Remember the ports tree is a skeleton of potential applications you can > install, they are not the actual installed apps themselves.. be sure and > read the Ports/Packages section of the handbook : > > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html " A pkg-plist file. This is a list of all the files that will be installed by the port. It also tells the ports system what files to remove upon deinstallation." Well, I was looking for 'autoconf' in these files but didn't find it. And indeed, even though I have 'autoconf-2.59_2' installed, all I have is 'autoconf259', but not 'autoconf'. > What are you attempting to install that requires autoconf? I'm trying to compile my own code, and my build system has a toplevel 'autogen.sh' file that runs 'autoconf' in a number of places. Regards, Stefan
