> If there is nothing wrong, why were so many people having problems all of a > sudden? I would say the lack of the login.conf in /etc was a 'problem'... That was a problem. Our problem. However, in every single case that I've seen the world target falling over so far, it has been: a) A 2.2.x tree splatted on top of a previous generation src tree (and that's bad). b) A bogus cvsup file, missing some crucial section of the source code (src-all is a good target and highly recommended). c) Stale depends or includes. Also note that RELENG_2_2 recently switched from SHARED=symlinks to SHARED=copies by default. This is not a 'problem' to be fixed so much as a change to simply be cognizant of, and if you've any doubts then blow away /usr/include and start over with a make includes; in all cases, the solution is fairly simple when you think about it.
