HI I think you will need to make cvsup first from the ports directory, Then use cvsup to get the latest version of ports tree. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html for more details.. -- Martin On Fri, 21 Jan 2005 18:06:09 GMT, hamsadhvani@netzero.com <hamsadhvani@netzero.com> wrote: > > I completed the BSD 5.3 instllation on my Dell Desktop using the first CD of the 4 CD set. I installed all the ports and distributions in the first CD. But when I tried to 'make install' emacs from the /usr/ports/editors/emacs20 directory I get a lot of messages which says 'Attemting to fetch from :<ftp site name> : No address record > And finally an error message which says: > Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this port manually into usr/ports/distfiles and try again > Error code 1 > Same is the case with other softwates and utilities. > > I don't have FTP configured on my computer. Do I have to get the CVS repository installed? If so please give me the instructions or a link. Is it necessary that I install the rest of the CDs? > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
