Hi: You wrote: >a) make install as user root in a terminal >b) make install-user as the user in a terminal I logged in as root, I did startx and checked that the terminal was OK with echo $DISPLAY, then I changed to the /usr/ports/editors/staroffice5 directory and did a make deinstall and a make install. The results: #make deinstall ===> Deinstalling for staroffice-5.1a pkg_delete: no such package 'staroffice-5.1a' installed *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/editors/staroffice5 NOTE: You werer right. The port had not been installed. But still I have a directory structure and many files under the 'work' directory in /sur/ports/editors/staroffice5. Is this because it never got to the 'clean' part of my former 'make install clean'? #make install <snip> /usr/ports/editors/staroffice5/work/so5inst/office51/setup: could not create temporary directory (/usr/ports/edit/staroffice5/work/tmp/sv001.tmp) *** Error code 255 (ignored) install: /usr/local/Office51/bin: No such file or directory Stop in /usr/ports/editors/staroffice5 *** Error code 1 THEN, when I log on as a user to try 'make install-user' (in a terminal and from the /usr/ports/editors/staroffice5 directory), I get the same error message as before. (see my first email message) Essentially it can't find a file or directory which I think is /usr/local/Office51/bin. I wanted to check with someone more knowledgeable before I proceed. Do I just need to create the /usr/local/Office/bin directory? why isn't make install doing what is needed? If I 'make clean', will the port recreate the directories and files it needs when I issue a new 'make install'? BTW, I am using FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE with a ports tree CVSup-ed last night.
