grep: write error: Broken pipe
Hi, all. I'm new to FreeBSD and have a newbie question (or maybe a couple). I was running FreeBSD 8.2-RC3 and recently `freebsd-update'd to 8.2-RELEASE. Now when I build or upgrade ports I get lots of these grep: write error: Broken pipe messages during builds. This is more of a nuisance than anything else, but last night when trying to build the GIMP from Ports, the build failed while trying to build the prerequisite OpenEXR 1.6.1_3 (output appended below). I can't figure out why the build fails for OpenEXR; as far as I can tell all the dependencies (in particular IlmBase in /usr/local/lib) are in place. I know the two are probably not related, but can anyone speculate as to the cause of these grep: write error: Broken pipe messages and where I might try looking to fix it? I'm hoping the answer will indirectly lead to some clues that will help me debug my failed OpenEXR build. (I'm asking here because I didn't want to bug the maintainer with what is probably a stupid newbie question.) My other question is, those of you who answer questions and debug problems on this list, what do you all get out of it? I feel kind of selfish asking for what is basically free technical support; how best can I repay you all?

Re: python27 update
I am using portmaster all the time more or less without problems. I like to switch to portupgrade but I don't know if is good to mix them. I think I will wait to FreeBSD 9 and than install evrything from scratch. You would have encountered the problem that you mentioned regardless of whether you used portupgrade or portmaster, and the results would have been the same. It was a flaw in the ports tree itself, not in the updating tool. I think that portmaster is probably a better choice for most people, since it implements most if not all of the features that portupgrade does, the maintainer is more active, and it doesn't need ruby and bdb to work, or require extra databases. Mixing portupgrade and portmaster shouldn't cause any problems, as long as you take care to keep your portupgrade port and package databases up-to-date, but it probably isn't necessary to use both. Whatever you decide, I urge you to take a few minutes to read the manpage of your updating tool. It can save you a lot of time and frustration later. Also, if you want to avoid problems, after major changes to the ports tree, it is safer to wait for a few days before updating your own ports. Usually there are a few problems that are uncovered and fixed after major changes are made, and it takes a few days or a week for this to happen. b. ___ 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

I feel kind of selfish asking for what is basically free technical support; how best can I repay you all? When you become knowledgeable, start answering questions yourself. I rarely have anything to contribute, but when I do I'll answer a question. As to why, there's an element of long-term self-interest: the more successes there are, the larger the user base becomes, the more experts develop. As a FreeBSD user, it's in my interest to have a large installed base and a large and robust user community since this will (I think and hope) ultimately mean more awareness from hardware makers and thus a continued supply of hardware I can use. Well, applications software too.

Re: Cannot build jdk16

So what's the best way of installing jdk16 despite of this? Rename tzupdater-1_3_35-2011b to tzupdater-1_3_34-2010o.zip and make -DNO_CHECKSUM? I recently ran into this. You can just tweak the download URL manually and still get the old version of tzupdater. It's not really necessary to cross post. Give -questions a chance to help you first.
