From the description, it's difficult to tell what is causing the problem. Please supply additional information, like what version of FreeBSD and the exact output of one of the errors (script(1) is useful for that). Also see the section in the Handbook about packages and ports: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html >> >> Translations of the Handbook can be found at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/ in the books subdirectory. > > the problem is not the problem, since most are solving the problem is that there are many errors and problems, then as I say it is stable and functional? The ports system is stable and functional for others, including me, so what needs to be figured out is the source of problems on your system.
