Thanks for your replies, I am able to install netperf manually. I
understand from various replies that my port tree is old, though this port
collection I got installed from new FBSd CD. Please tell me how to update
this port tree so that in future I do not face this silly problem, if I do
make under /usr/ports then agian it is getting aborted.
Thanks,
Harkirat
