I reported this to Sam. I think there is a problem in the automake stuff that causes configure to generate a Makefile that uses binary install rather than script install for these files. Binary installs run the strip command, which fails for scripts on BSD at least, maybe Linux strip just ignores this.
The ugly ugly kludge I used was to edit work/courier-0.45.3/courier/Makefile and remove references to -s on install commands (leave cmp -s alone). After that it installs and runs fine. The commands I used to get it installed were... 1) edit Makefile and change PORTVERSION 2) make makesum 3) make 4) edit the above mentioned file to remove -s 5) /usr/local/etc/rc.d/courier.sh stop 6) make deinstall (remove old version) 7) make install 8) /usr/local/etc/rc.d/courier.sh start Yes some of my binaries are probably bigger than they need to be, but eventually it will be fixed and I will re-install. __________________________________________________ John Saunders -- ResMed Limited (OSA Group) 97 Waterloo Road, North Ryde NSW 2113, Australia.
