The other bit that was pure mystery was the bit about kern.securelevel. Dropping to single user mode when the kern.securelevel has been at 1 leaves it at 1 and make installworld fails. In my case it failed in the middle of installing perl so not much worked after that. So, heads up all, before trying to installworld, do sysctl kern.securelevel if it is 1, change rc.conf to have it be -1, reboot and try again. As a rather naive user but not a newbie, I had assumed that make buildworld built what it needed when it needed it. So I don't do it again next time, just how do I make sure the libraries are built and installed first? Could the buildworld makefile check for libraries first, before grinding away for an hour and failing? Thanks for the info! TJ Olney p.s. Is there a list of "Gotchas" anywhere? Things that experts have learned the hard way, but novices and intermediates don't have a clue? eg, I can hear someone muttering, "no duh! Of course you have to set kern.securelevel so you can change things that have their immutable flags set." > > > Libraries should be built and installed first before the rest of the world. > Make sure that the `libraries' part put the correct libraries into > /usr/obj/usr/src/i386/usr/lib, and that ``nm libc.a'' in that directory > shows you nl_langinfo. > > > Cheers, To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
