AFAICT it isn't broken, at least not on amd64. It compiles normally on if I comment out the following lines in the Makefile: .else BROKEN= "Does not compile on FreeBSD >= 5.x" You could try that and see if it works. My system is: FreeBSD slackbox.xs4all.nl 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #0: Fri Apr 15 17:37:34 CEST 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/RFS amd64 A couple of months ago I posted a fix (that has been applied) to unbreak the port on amd64. ATM I cannot not look at portsmon to see what's b0rken; I get timeouts on portsmon.firepipe.net. Roland -- R.F.
