Try it not in single user mode. Matt -----Original Message----- From: Greg Nelsen [mailto:excalibr@avalon.net] Sent: Monday, February 19, 2001 1:15 PM To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: a little problem with upgrading 4.1 to 4.2 Last night I cvsuped the 4-stable tree and then followed the instructions in src/UPGRADING the cvsup went fine (i think) and building the world went fine (i think). I say "I think" because these things take so long that I don't watch them closely. Buildkernel went fine, and installkernel went fine too. I dropped to single user... but the installworld command barfed an error: It could not find GNU/?iforget?/libg2a or something like that (I'm pretty sure of the lib and the g2a). I'm sort of a newbie with this, so is this system now too inconsistent to run if it restarts, and is there any thing I can try? Yes I've got backup and fixit disks --Oh, i used -DNOGAMES and -DNOFORTRAN too to buildworld and installworld.
