I was attempting to upgrade a computer from 4.0 to 4.1 but received errors running "make world". Based on some suggestions from here, I've also tried: make buildworld make includes make installworld make buildworld make -k installworld make installworld all with the same results (error messages at end of message). Just to make sure I was doing this right I started re-reading some of the documentation. I also have more than enough space available on all slices. In the past, I would upgrade the source, run "make world", rebuild the kernel and then reboot. So this time, I broke it down a little further. I did the following: 1. Downloaded the source (I even cleaned out the /usr/src directory as well as /usr/opt) 2. Ran "make buildworld (this always runs without a problem) 3. Rebuilt the kernel (edited kernel file, ran config, then make clean, make depend, make, make install) 4. Ran "make installworld" (I've done this a few times, sometimes running "make includes" before) Each time, the process stops in the "make installworld" portion. Here is the error I get: vm/vm_pager.h -> vm/vm_pager.ph vm/vm_param.h -> vm/vm_param.ph vm/vm_zone.h -> vm/vm_zone.ph vm/vnode_pager.h -> vm/vnode_pager.ph *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/utils/h2ph. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/utils. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/gnu. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. Here is another thing I might try. I've been able to burn a CD with the 4.1 ISO image. Can I run install from the CD and have it upgrade the system? I've never tried this and am not sure how it would treat the existing application and config files. This may seem simple or obvious to many of you but I've had success using cvsup and then rebuilding that I've never had to use the CD except for clean installs. The slightly funny part about this whole thing is that all the documentation strongly suggests that you have backups before you start and this IS our backup server (running Amanda) so we do have backups. I would really appreciate any suggestions or ideas on this. Thanks, Oscar To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
