About as clear as mud. Seems that I had accidentally installed the i386 version of cvsup rather than amd64 (got it hard coded into my brain to cd into the i386 directory, not amd64). Now I've rm -rf'd /usr/ports, checked it out again with the proper version of cvsup, and things seem to be working again. Despite there being no WANT_AUTOCONF, or WANT_AUTOCONF_VER in any of the ports, now or never. -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- chris@chrishowells.co.uk, howells@kde.org Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP ID: 0x33795A2C KDE/Qt/C++/PHP Developer: http://www.kde.org
