If it doesn't work on your system, you either > have a very old version of bsd.port.mk or /etc/mtree. There was another mkdir -p already there for ./share so this seemed the prudent solution. The problem is when you install to somewhere other than /usr/local (by changing PREFIX for example) and you set NO_MTREE, which is exactly the case when you're installing into /home/www, it tries to install analog as bin. Basically, this fix is necessary for the work I'm doing on the www area. The ports mechanism isn't very robust in the face of changes to the defaults. I need to import some sgml tools as well, can I create a sgml category? -- Dr Paul Richards, Originative Solutions Ltd. Internet: paul@originat.demon.co.uk Phone: 0370 462071 (UK Mobile)
