Anyway, I swiped out the whole /usr/ports directory and extracted from the install CD. The result was still the same. Since it also affected building the kernel. I suspected it was make. I extracted make from the CD and overwrote the existing one and that didn't help either. Then I made a discovery which is that if I use /usr/bin/make update instead of make update, it would be fine. I ran which make again and it did show /usr/bin/make. I later found out it was due to some tcsh settings. I am using the settings from tcshrc.sf.net. After removing those rc files, it works well now. I haven't yet figured out where exactly the problem is, but I am glad I don't have to reinstall everything, which would be a nightmare.

Can not make clean etc.
Hi all, I am experiencing a nasty problem: I can not make clean or make update etc under /usr/port. In most of the ports, I can not even make install. They all yield a common error: Missing }. This problem also exists when I tried to compile the kernel by running config and make depend. But I have no problem with make buildkernel KERNCONF= I even tried to cvsup to the lastest port, didn't help. I suspect a makefile that is commonly used is corrupted. Can anyone give a a clue where to find it? It's 5.2 RC1. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
