Well, that being said, I did just encounter a problem when trying to update the ports database after a cvsup (running 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 with XOrg): smogmonster# portsdb -uU Updating the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please wait.."Makefile", line 34: Malformed conditional (${XFREE86_VERSION} == 3 && !defined(WITHOUT_X)) "Makefile", line 36: if-less endif "Makefile", line 36: Need an operator make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue ===> chinese/arphicttf failed *** Error code 1 1 error My /etc/make.conf is: # Created: Fri Apr 16 06:11:06 2004 # Setting to use base perl from ports: PERL_VER=5.6.1 PERL_VERSION=5.6.1 PERL_ARCH=mach NOPERL=yo NO_PERL=yo NO_PERL_WRAPPER=yo CPUTYPE?=athlon-xp CFLAGS= -O -pipe COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe #X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg I commented the line with the new X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable to see if that were the problem, but it didn't change anything. - jt _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
