Not exactly. I'm not talking about /usr/src headers, but about /usr/include headers. The latter doesn't get updated until *after* you complete an installworld. If you have somehow messed it up, you won't be able to use this system for builds. Which brings us to the next step: Install a clean 6.0-RELEASE on a new system and build there. You have obviously done something very wrong with the current setup of this system. > It would be real sweet not having to reinstall everything, > even though I can restore all my configuration files in just one command. Configuration files won't cut it. You need a clean *base* system. All of it. Not just a mixture of files that happens to be around. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
