Hey, I have an ancicent box I've inherited, output of
uname -a is:
bash-2.04# uname -a
FreeBSD dropbox.xxxx.xxxx 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD
4.2-RELEASE #0: Mon Nov 20 13:02:55 GMT 2000
jkh@bento.FreeBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC
i386
Obviously, she's got a few miles on her, and cvsup
wasn't installed. I downloaded the tarball from the
FreeBSD ftp server, untar'd it, and tried to do a make
install, then got this ugliness:
<error>
gzip -cn pkg_version.1 > pkg_version.1.gz
===> Installing for pkg_install-20040802
===> Generating temporary packing list
ln: illegal option -- h
usage: ln [-fisv] file1 file2
ln [-fisv] file ... directory
link file1 file2
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/pkg_install.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/textproc/sed_inplace.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/lang/ezm3.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/net/cvsup.
</error>
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance.
