I would suggest that you empty your "/usr/ports/distfiles" directory entirely. If you have java installed, download the source files needed to build it and place them in the that directory. Update your entire ports tree and then run: portmanager -u -l -y -f That will rebuild your entire ports system in the correct order. Depending on the speed of your system and number of ports installed, that might take a day, give or take a few hours. I would shutdown 'X' prior to doing the update also. When done, reboot and all should be well. I have done it before with great success. BTW, you might also want to set: "BATCH=yes" sans quotation marks in your "/etc/make.conf" file. It will eliminate those pesky pop-up messages concerning configuring the port(s). -- Jerry gesbbb@yahoo.com |::::======= |::::======= |=========== |=========== | If you lose a son you can always get another, but there's only one Maltese Falcon.
