Hi, I didn't rebuild world, or kernel, however just some regular routine portupgrade -a. The problem is that no matter what I do with mergemaster, I get this error( also the same error occurs on another box of mine), and it started happening about a week ago after I did cvsup.
It keeps complaining the line 76~80 in /usr/src/etc/Makefile, where I have no idea what's wrong with this file.
Thanks,
Kev
Cvsup! Cvsup what, the stanard file to upgrade your base system? You don't need mergemaster unless you cvsup your base system, and if you did that and merged the new files, thats bad. You should rebuild the world and the kernel then install them. And don't cvsup unless you intend to upgrade your base system. That can put things out of sink.
