If nobody has ever seen such a problem, it would be quite more forthright to just admit that than spout the normal crap this list promulgates. But, then, I should have expected multiple replies that are off topic, of no help, and not worth the time to read. Sorry, I had momentarily forgotten the definition of OBSD Misc - my bad. If nobody can answer the question, that's is not a problem, just say so! Lee 4.3 was released May 1, 2008. That's almost 4 years old software. What are you expecting here? Someone to check out the code from that version and deeply inspect what may be causing your problem, that is more than likely already fixed in a later version? The replies were perfectly valid and helpful. In the software world, you're using an antique. They were valid replies, but a straw man argument at best. I think he would have preferred to hear something more like: Yeah, I saw something similar happen on my systems running an older release. I don't really remember the release, but I do remember the problem eventually went away for me. I'm not really sure of what's happening, but my best guess is giving the latest release a try and seeing if that solves the problem for you. -- David Cantrell david.l.cantr...@gmail.com WH6DSN | http://blog.burdell.org/
Re: Cannot build gtar with OpenBSD 4.8

Thanks Doug Machine specs: VMWare with 2x i386 CPU, 2GB RAM, 8GB disk Host system is OS X / VMWare Fusion 2.x; Vmware tools are NOT installed. Steps to reproduce: 1. Download install48.iso for i386, connect as CDROM and boot 2. Install entire base system 3. Download ports.tar.gz, xenocara.tar.gz and extract into /usr/ 4. Download src.tar.gz and sys.tar.gz; extract into /usr/src/ 5. cd /usr/ports/archivers/gtar 6.

The fix you need is most likely in -current in /usr/libdata/perl5/OpenBSD/LibSpec/Build.pm. My previous thread about this issue (final msg, anyway): http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-portsm=129169328317934w=1 I've used that updated Build.pm on 4.8 with no issues so far, but a better solution might be to check out the ports tree tagged at OPENBSD_4_8, unless you specifically need something from HEAD. Also, if you are interested in doing other things with your system than compiling ports, you might want to just install the packages. Set PKG_PATH and use pkg_add(1). Way faster for people who need to get to work doing other things. -- David Cantrell | KB1PCX http://www.burdell.org/
