"You didn't mention that you want to build a i386-only port. The easiest way to circumvent that restriction is to down- load the i386 package of that port and install it. Whether you can make that work depends on what kind of port it is. If you tell us *what* software you're actualy trying to install, we might be able to provide further assistance. Best regards Oliver" O.K. the software I want to install is wine. Another one I want to install is zsnes or snes9x. I have attempted to install it from source, and also the ports. Sorry for the misunderstanding, I was wanting to install i386 only software on my amd64 FreeBSD build. Not run i386 code on amd64. Here is details about my system: I am using a PentiumD 2.6 in dual core mode. I have a old old pci vga display. (might upgrade very soon, expecting some new hardware.) A sblive sound card.
