Yes, follow the instructions in the error message. :) Can I ask (and I am serious about this, because I help write documentation for freebsd) what is confusing about that message? It says clearly, "Please remove it and try again." How could we make that more clear? As for the details, if you are concerned about keeping that file, I would move it to a location like your home directory and then try compiling the port again. It will probably find a few more files you need to delete, delete or move them and try again. Eventually you will get it going. :) Good luck, Doug PS, Try to fix your mail program so that it wraps lines at about 75 columns. Otherwise it is very difficult to read. -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** *** Proud designer and maintainer of the world's largest Internet *** Relay Chat server with 5,328 simultaneous connections. *** Try spider.dal.net on ports 6662-4 (Powered by FreeBSD) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
