Actually, I've been working to get the most basic extra services up. I'm working on my 4th port, first were cvsup, zip and unzip, now it's seamonkey. I happen to have that make listing, just that it's a bit more than a PITA to get it out to a pastebin service without any webserver. The rest, well, I've made no changes to mk.conf at all, the only things I've done are use cvsup to get the cvs archive, and from that set up both the latest ports, and also the latest src. I built/installed the latest version of OpenBSD, mostly because of all the warnings I received that my ports would be out of sync with my very new 4.5 install. Well, if everything is at current, that can't any longer be a problem, can it? Far as the build, I'll get a listing when things are a little bit further along. Until then, if you have seen no problem in that part of the build (after building all the libs and executables, while it's trying to generate a locale file, zip tosses an error trying to access a file, en-US.jar, that doesn't exist in my build directory anywhere) then just let it go. I have no other variables set up either in my environment, nothing whatever that wasn't originally in the 4.5 install (as modified by the current install). I can't figure out what you might want from the pkg_info command, because I'm working with no package. If maybe you could make that more clear to me, I'll be happy to furnish the info. If you still need the build listing, it's gonna have to wait until I get some kind of browser up. Thanks anyway. > >> I'm not setting any other variables in doing this port, should I >> be?

I would normally only rely upon things I build myself; is that very different in OpenBSD? It's a longtime bias, so if it's not true about OpenBSD, I guess I'll have to consider changing.
