uname -a -- FreeBSD fixer.com 5.1-RELEASE #0: Thu Mar 30 20:16:41 GMT = 2004 root@:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/VIILATV i386 I have been using FreeBSD since version 2.1. Almost 10 years. =20 I am having a problem installing some ports of the ports collection. On = php4, mod_php4 and netscape7 after you type make, a configure box = appears. This box lets you select the options you wish(makes sense). = The problem is "I can't make this box disappear". You can press = "escape" or "cancel" to get rid of it, but you also loose all the = selections you made. Once, on mod_php4 which I got by cvsup, I got rid of the configure box = by pressing "enter". The info on the box entered and the box = disappeared. Then "make" proceeded as normal. Its the only time it = worked that way. Now when I cvsup, they have a different version of = "mod_php4" and I have the same problems with it. I am trying to install nescape7. It has a configure box which lists 8 = distfiles. browser.xpi, spell_check.xpi, etc. Once again, I can't make = the box disappear. When you press "enter" the "X" under the curser, = appears and disappears with each press. That all it does. If I cancel = the box, all configuration is lost. It then looks for .xpi files with = nothing to left of .xpi(all distfiles end in .xpi, browser.xpi, = spell_check.zpi, etc). Of coarse it doesn't find any. If I can find a way to "enter" the box, Netscape7 will correctly = install. Hope somebody out there knows. Thanks in advance, bruce
