Re: portmaster -a command fails - *** Error code 1
Thanks gentlemen; I was not running portmaster as root. When I re-run portmaster -a as root, I get the following: === Starting check for runtime dependencies === Gathering dependency list for devel/automake from ports === Dependency check complete for devel/automake en-freebsd-doc-20100625 textproc/docproj-nojadetex graphics/netpbm graphics/jasper graphics/libglut x11-toolkits/libXmu x11-toolkits/libXt x11/libSM devel/automake === Installing for automake-1.11.1 === Generating temporary packing list === Checking if devel/automake already installed === automake-1.11.1 is already installed You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of devel/automake without deleting it first, set the variable FORCE_PKG_REGISTER in your environment or the make install command line. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/automake.

Re: portmaster -a command fails - *** Error code 1
Thanks Aurthur. :-) It's funny...I DID what it asks and it still didn't work (make deinstall, etc.). Apparently, I installed it from a package, so I did a pkg_delete automake and then started my portmaster -a again and it seems to be running fine. :-) Ed ___ 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

Re: portmaster -a command fails - *** Error code 1
these situations arise quite often where you have to delete a port before portmaster will continue. sometimes you can predict it by reading /usr/ports/UPDATING not that this is the only reason to read UPDATING.

It's not really a matter of ports verses packages, a make deinstall calls pkg_delete. The suggestion You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again... shouldn't be taken too seriously, since it just a standard response to a make install on an already installed port. It probably fails because what's needed is to delete the package, not delete and reinstall. ___ 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
