Hi LG:
Thanks for the tip.
I connected to www. Freebsd.org, sherched for rpm and got to a page
with several rpm ports that can be downloaded. Since O have FreeBSD 6.0
I figured I could go for the latehast rpm which is 4.0.4_4. So I first
downloaded rpm4.tar, and put it in my /usr/rpm/rpm4/ dir. rpm4.tar
contains the makefile.Then I downloaded rpm-4.0.4_4.tbz and put it in
my /usr/ports/ dir. But I could see that the make file was not
interested in a tbz file so I connected to the internet and started
make so it coul;d go get the file it wanted. Make did so.
I think I also unzipped the rpm-4.0.4_4 tbz file. Somehow I ended up
with two sub-directories to my /usr/rpm/rpm4 directory They are Files
and Work. The files Dir contains a bunch of patch files.
From what you said about "a patch in the port skeleton which isn't
appropriate to the
source that had been un-tarred from rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz.", perhaps I
should delete everything and start over with just the rpm4.tar file in
my /usr/rpm/rpm4/ dir. Am I correct in thinking that the only file I
need to untar is rpm4.tar, and when I execute the extracted make file
and there is no other rpm stuff in my directories, MAKE INSTALL should
work?
Thanks,
RAW
Do I have any other options with the unzipped rpm-4.0.4_4.tbz mess I.ve
already created?

This question is about a FreeBSD port that I cannot automake.
Dear FreeBSDers;
Tried to obtain, make and install Port rpm-4.0.4_4, on my new FreeBSD
6.0. Not there yet Looks like the Makefile program got down to
"post-patch:", became unhappy, informed me with error code 127, (???)
and quit.Make claimed that it could not find the shell script
"configure" (see log below), but when I follow the path to the file,
there it is. It left an "extract done.rpm-4" doc empty.
How can I get the makefile to continue, find "configure" and finish
the make job?
P.S. I ran Make in a terminal window on my KDE desktop. Matters?
Thanks for the help.

You have a patch in the port skeleton which isn't appropriate to the
source that had been un-tarred from rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz.
How did you get your ports skeleton anyway?
