I figured I'd walk through those steps from start to finish and just correct my main problem and any other little glitches I might have.
I'm on step 6 and when I run mergemaster -p, I get the following error. *** Creating the temporary root environment in /var/tmp/temproot *** /var/tmp/temproot ready for use *** Creating and populating directory structure in /var/tmp/temproot /usr/bin/install: Undefined symbol "gid_from_group" *** FATAL ERROR: Cannot copy files to the temproot environment I found this thread on the Freebsd forums http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=41779 with the same error and if I do the same diagnostic steps of truss install -d -g wheel ~/testdirectory I find an error of lstat("/usr/local/etc/libmap.d",0x7fffffffb990) ERR#2 'No such file or directory' Any suggestions? Thank you for the help thus far.
