This is followup to my previous message, not a question, but probably someone could shed some light on this... >>/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/libperl/../../../../contrib/perl5/toke.c -o toke.o >> mkdir: build: File exists ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ According to archives, quite "popular" error message, usually appears somewhere in Perl builds. As I wrote, I was stuck with other "popular" problem with 3C509B. It appeared that in attempt to "achieve consensus" with it I managed to power down the machine. This is old 486, so (guess...) it's clock went to 1980, and I totally missed this fact. And right after that the above mentioned error appeared. Two days ago I fixed the machine's clock and it easily survived all 3.4->4.0 upgrade path and two subsequent build/installworlds... So the direct moral is "Check Your clock", but in general I have no ideas about the correspondance of "mkdir: XXX: File exists" error and clock settings. Well, I'm not a programmer... Maybe someone experienced can explain. TIA, Igor To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
