What's ports-all? Is that the name of a sup-file you're using? If so, what's in it? > - Attempted to install portupgrade with BDB4; ruby-bdb failed to build What is the failure message. The failure could have occurred at the beginning of ruby-bdb. Do you have /usr/ports/databases/db(what version?) installed? > - Uninstalled all ports, changed LOCALBASE to /opt and X11BASE to > $LOCALBASE Are you saying you uninstalled the ports-tree and reinstalled it using cvsup, or are you saying you uninstalled the installed ports? Is there a reason you are messing with LOCALBASE?

See below. > > Thanks, > Jim > > _______________________________________________ Jim - I would suggest that you use portsnap rather than cvsup for the ports tree. Cvsup will work, and it will work fine, but portsnap will work better and faster and with less problems. I suggest you do it this way: actually the way I do it is: perf500# script /home/script/portsnap/20060721 (that's today's date) Script started, output file is /home/script/portsnap/20060721 perf500# portsnap fetch extract You don't have to run 'script', but in case there's a failure, I like to have something to look at to see if I can find what went wrong. You could just run 'portsnap fetch extract'. NOTE: unless you blow the ports-tree off, you only run 'portsnap fetch extract' once. After that you use: 'portsnap fetch update'. The first time you do this, it takes a bit of time to complete. After that, on my systems anyway, it takes about 2 minutes as compared to 15 to 20 using cvsup. If you're blowing off the ports-tree and rerunning cvsup to install it, portsnap is going to be way faster. What is the output from 'df -m'? Do you have anything in /etc/make.conf? I would suggest installing /usr/ports/databases/db43 before trying to install portupgrade. It might work out a little better for you. Don
