Anyway, I hope this helps somewhat. > I found an alternate solution in one of the freebsd newsgroups. What worked for me was cvsup'ing 3.5-STABLE source (including ports), installing the gcc295 port, cvsup'ing to a 4.x-STABLE source, and doing this: export CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc295 export CXX=/usr/local/bin/gcc295 export CPP=/usr/local/bin/g++295 ... then running 'make buildworld -DNOPERL'. Built without incident. Hope this is useful to others in the same situation. Klaus To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
