All, After noodling through this for two days, I've hit a wall and need your help. Problem definition: To enable PHP4 or mod_PHP, I need pdflib3, but make install hits a snag because the current version is 4.x and it can't find an earlier version. Next stop: cvsup, thinking it'll upgrade my ports tree and (hopefully) resolve the dependency problem. Typing in: #cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile gets me: #Parsing supfile "ports-supfile" #Release not specified for collection "host-cvsup15.freeBSD.org" Contents of ports-supfile (sans comments) are below: host=cvsup15.FreeBSD.org base=/usr prefix=/usr *default host=cvsup15.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix ports-all I've also tried default tag=HEAD per the handbook. Sooo... two questions: how to fix the non-running cvsup (by the way, the ports-supfile is in the root directory) and the bigger question: am I even going about resolving this dependency issue properly? Would a smarter approach just be to edit some dependency marker in the makefiles for PHP and/or mod_php? Many, many thanks!
