Re: Error installing softwares on FreeBSD system
HI I think you will need to make cvsup first from the ports directory, Then use cvsup to get the latest version of ports tree. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html for more details.. -- Martin On Fri, 21 Jan 2005 18:06:09 GMT, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I completed the BSD 5.3 instllation on my Dell Desktop using the first CD of the 4 CD set.

You have so much extra bagage with building modula (ezm3) that you completely avoid with the package.
