i will look into binutils and into updating GNU C. (Right now I was able to install it by first downloading the package.) thanks, -guillermo ----- Original Message ----- From: Matthew Dufresne Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 8:39 PM To: gui gui Subject: RE: [courier-users] courier-imap port on freebsd Your problem is clearly with your GNU C build environment, which is broken
if it thinks its a cross compiler. A usual suspect is installing binutils,
which you should definitely remove and see if it fixes the problem. You can
also try uninstalling your current GNU C and downloading the latest GNU C
package, which worked for me recently when I had a similar problem. You
could also move to OpenBSD which is generally more standards compliant and
really a dream to work with as far as this kind of thing goes in my opinion.
Anyway, just my $0.02, hope it helps.

Subject: [courier-users] courier-imap port on freebsd
Edwin, hi. A few days ago you replied to my cry for
help suggesting I try ports instead of actual compiles.
Like I mentioned to you, my ports system is giving me
trouble, but my compile is not working and nobody has
been able to help me yet.
So I am back to the ports idea...here is the deal.
the machine is a freebsd 4.4 "virtual machine" on a
hosted server. This means I get the minimum install
and only like 150 extra megabytes of free space.
Because of this the ports tree is not local.
Now, I am trying to add packages, but I keep getting
errors. Any package I add fails (at one point they
worked, but I dont know what it is that broke since then)
Here is what I get
[root@ac ~]# pkg_add -r
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.4-release/All/courie
r-imap-1.3.10.tgz
Error: FTP Unable to get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.4-release/All/courie
r-imap-1.3.10.tgz:
File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch
`ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.4-release/All/couri
er-imap-1.3.10.tgz'
by URL
if you know what this might mean, please let me know. I would really
appreciate it. I have the whole server sitting doing nothing
(and paying for it) until I can finish my install, so I am
extremely frustrated.
thanks,
-guillermo
