xmlto should be using /usr/local/share/xml/docbook/4.2/docbookx.dtd, which should be installed by the build dependency textproc/docbook-xml, but instead is trying to fetch this file from a remote location, and failing. Check to see if this file is present, and intact. If it isn't, then reinstall textproc/docbook-xml. You could look at the file (and compare it to the reference file from the remote location), and the output of "pkg_info -ag", to see if anything is corrupted. > > After alot of frustration I decided to throw everything away and start again: > > # pkg_delete -a Okay, you've instructed the system to delete the registered files and directories in the step above -- but is any garbage left in /usr/local afterward? After the above step, you should check to see that /usr/local only contains files that you have placed there, and that won't interfere with new port installations. > # cd /usr/ports; rm -fr * > # csup -h cvsup.au.FreeBSD.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile > # cd /usr/ports/textproc/xmlto > # make Usually, it's a good idea to perform "make deinstall-all clean all" (in that order), although in this case it should not have made a difference for the first build, if you had succeeded in cleaning /usr/local and /usr/ports. > > Using the defaults when the config screens appear.

This port was built on July 17 on the build cluster with 7.3-RELEASE-p4: http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/amd64-7-latest-logs/xmlto-0.0.24.log so while there may be a bug in the port, or in one of its dependencies, it is more probable that your build is polluted. If you don't want to use a binary package downloaded from the server, then you'll have to be patient, and break down the build until you find the precise location where it is failing, even though that is a nuisance. A complete build transcript and config.log would help. b. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
