I am in the process of building a new machine for work. I started with the 32 CD, cvsuped, and proceded to build the needed ports. Several of the ones tah I use seem to have bee marked a sbroken lately. xscrabble is marked as broke because of the tar file. While the tar file on the original site has been wrong for some perios of time, the last time I simply grabed it from teh FreeBSD site by hand, and it built liek a charm. BTW the difference is probably a fix for 4 players that was pushed back upstream from the HP porting cneter. xgrab ws marked as broken, ecause of needing to run xrdb. Huh, what;s wrong with runing xrdb? Is anyone aware of a screen printign program that works from the ports colection other than this one? How can I overide the "broken" flag, and try to build xscrabble? -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 843-745-3154 Westvaco Charleston SC. -- Windows 98: n. useless extension to a minor patch release for 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition. - (c) 1999 Stan Brown.
