Yup, running make and make install from /usr/src/usr.bin/mkdep worked - thank you VERY much for your help. A good thing you made that suggestion, too, because after close to an hour of compilation, gcc32 error 2'ed out on me. Sigh. Is it NORMAL to have a relatively high failure rate compiling ports? Another notable example was SNMP-5.01; I had to install SNMP4 because 5.01 just kept dying with dependency issues and not telling me why... -J ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan Chen" <jonc@chen.org.nz> To: "Jimbo" <jimbo@jimbosworld.org> Cc: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Monday, May 20, 2002 11:38 PM Subject: Re: kernel won't compile > On Mon, May 20, 2002 at 10:29:22PM -0400, Jimbo wrote: > > No - it does not.
