i've had a good couple of problems installing ports, either because of compilation issues, or because they were just not there.
is there something i am missing?


zB, i need to install stlport, and a quick search on www.freshports.org shows that it should be as easy as
pkg_add -r stlport-gcc


when i try that, however, it fails real quick with a 'unable to fetch' error.
it is not alone in this, some port packages work. some not.


when that fails, i typically go into the relevant /usr/ports/ directory and go through the make process.
but for a port whose package failed, more often than not the make process fails too.


am i missing something?

i regularly update everything with portupgrade -arR and with cvsup.


(on that note - portversion -l "<" tells me that openoffice is behind, but when i try to portupgrade it also fails...)


any suggestions?
