Especially when I haven't done one in a while. Here's what I usually end up doing: 1) Manually doing a "make depend all install" on the include directory 2) Manually doing a "make depend all install" on the lib directory 3) Running a make world. 9 times out of 10 this will solve the problems. From what I've seen, a make world needs to compile certain items before installing the include and libraries, and in many cases those tools rely on something IN the includes or libraries. Sort of a Catch-22. On the other hand, I had a system that kept on freaking out on me every time I ran a make world. This was a 2.1.6 system, which I was updating to 2.1-stable (at least for now) ... No matter what I did, a make world wouldn't work. It would give strange errors, which I would assume to be some sort of memory hole. I had to run the steps manually.
