You might be right that it has to do with the quantity, but compatibility is often actually dealt with. All the versions of Tcl and Tk (about four of each) install to different places. bash1 and bash2 do like mv bash bash.old before installing a different bash. I know it's lame, but my sh skills are pressed to write what you provided. Thanks for the example. - Jay -----Original Message----- From: Dirk Myers <dirkm@teleport.com> To: Jay Krell <jay.krell@cornell.edu> Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG <questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Date: Wednesday, April 05, 2000 7:00 AM Subject: Re: make install in ports non leaf >Jay Krell flailed at the keyboard, producing: >> Why can't you make install in non leaf ports directories? >> cd /usr/ports >> make install >> cd /usr/ports/lang >> make install >> ? > >I don't know the canonical answer, but I suspect it has to do with the >quantity of programs in ports, and the fact that there may be multiple >versions of the same program in ports.
