Kris, /usr/local/share/doc/avr-libc is a good directory. Should the parameter to install be files or directories? Do you think I should pkg_delete avr-libc ? Also, avr-libc was built from ports as part of avr-gcc, not that long ago. The whole install is but a few weeks old. Thanks. -

6.0 stable: linuxpluginwrapper port build failure

Issue was resolved. in /etc/make.conf I had added a line NOPORTDOCS=yes to keep from building the docs, which would require Latex, etc. Once I commented out that line, the port upgraded without issue. At least one 87MB file had to be downloaded though! Thanks for your help. Steve.

I did a pkg_delete and I think a 'make deinstall clean', then re-did my update process - which worked. All these months experimenting with FreeBSD I never saw anything in the UPDATING that effected me, and the first time I didn't look, it had the answer to my question, lol. thanks! On

WinSCP mega-slowness

2006-02-19 Thread Xn Nooby
For about a year I have noticed that whenever my Windows boxes talk to my Unix boxes, they communicate at about 1/10 normal speed. I copy lots (300GB) of large files back and forth between machines as I try different OS's, and I always see this. Specifically, if I copy from FreeBSD to FreeBSD,
