Well, this is a suggestion, not an answer, but I've saved myself a lot of pain by building ports of PHP related stuff on relatively clean systems (by "relatively clean" I mean NO packages installed that are later going to be required when building the ports), building the packages, and then installing the relevant packages on the target system with pkg_add, rather than directly from the ports tree. I think in my case most problems stemmed from conflicts between already installed packages and the ones that I was trying to build, and the subsequent wrangling and mangling of the ports tree that I tried to do to "fix" it. My rule for myself, at least until I have a much deeper understanding of the ports tree, is to never install ANY downloaded packages on the machine that I use to interact with the ports tree. If this isn't the solution to your problem, maybe we can help with some more details about the failure of "make install" Thanks, > Dan > > Marti -- Systems Programmer, Principal Electrical & Computer Engineering The University of Arizona [EMAIL PROTECTED]
