Full SubjectLine: How-to capture error messages from ... recent instant-workstation port "make install && make clean" failure on 5.3Beta6...newish, mid-range box. What's next, Ollie? I'm hoping this is the right place to ask this... BAD case of newbie- itis. And there I was thinking: this is working out all right... [enough whingiing] Straightforward installation via downloaded/burned mini-iso CD... - ftp ports: all binaries, source, X - left X for later install Package selection: cvsup_without_gui-16.h and, using /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile finished successfully! Since this was an othewise new box, a recent beta release (when I started!?), & perhaps wrongly assuming I didn't need to run portupgrade, I went ahead and tried to install the instant-workstation _1.0.8 port. The machine began clunking away at 00:30 Fri, Oct 1, and was still churning away Sun, Oct. 3 when I left for work. I came back from work about 5:30 pm to find the Postfix config screen with all those [ ] SASL [ ] SASLKRB5 <some snippage> [ ] TLS [ ] DB42 [ ] LDAP [ ] PgSQL ...options As I had with most of the previous port-install config screens, I [X]'d as many of the options as I had ever seen/heard in my Time of Lurking/reading, pressed RETURN, and looked for- ward to the imminent conclusion of the port's installation. I got an install screen that said I had to choose between the DB options offered (4.0/4.2 etc.), but which then dumped me out of install process. Can someone tell me where to look for how to capture the console screens that fly by in the port install process? My scroll-locked look- back-at shows: <...paraphrasing> "Building for Postfix-2.1.4.1... <...couple of screens of gobbledygook> <...couple of screens of "/usr/lib/libkrb5.so. ... "...undefined reference to... "...'length_PA_ENC_TS_ENC' ".... "...'decode_EncTicketPart'"> <...several "Stop in /usr/ports/mail/postfix... <*** Error code 1">'s The screens also show that several of the port's components list- ed in Mr Lehey's Complete FreeBSD - acroread; bash; fetch- mail; grip; gimp; gv; ispell; mutt; mozilla; startkde -- installed successfully. (Logging in as a non-root user, for example, displays a bash prompt.) Maybe I can cd to /<snip>l/postfix and resume installing the postfix port separately? I don't need one of the three sub-ports that remain un-installed (mkisofs), since this machine doesn't have a burner. I *do* want to install gv and xtset, I think. But I'm still unclear on what role(s) postfix plays in the instant-workstation port, and/or just how much cleaning/tidying I will have to do manually. Any help greatly appreciated, although I should mention that, for my next trick, I'm looking to configure X... :c) Kind regards, Dave Other specs: AMD Duron 1.6 Ghz, 40 Gb HD, 512 K, SiS 740/741 on-board video.. output from "uname -a": FreeBSD S0106000d87ae2db6.gv.shawcable.net 5.3-BETA6 FreeBSD 5.3-BETA6 #0: Sat Sep 25 19:41:14 UTC 2004 root@wv1u.samsco.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 = df (dave) armour <at> my real box <dought> calm! = # not...
