What happens when you run this command from within a port directory: % make -VPKG_CMD -VPKG_INFO /usr/sbin/pkg_create /usr/sbin/pkg_info and % which pkg_info /usr/sbin/pkg_info Does /usr/local/sbin/pkg_info exist? % ls -l /usr/local/sbin/pkg_info ls: /usr/local/sbin/pkg_info: No such file or directory James _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
