This was not an issue before Perl was removed from the base system and Xorg was split into its 200 (or so) component parts. For me using an 80MHz processor with 512MB of memory (a perfectly good workstation BTW runs KDE-lite just fine) building is not an option. If I started June 1, I might be done in time for the fireworks :) My solution was just to start from scratch (about 2-3 hours). ___ 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

Unfortunately, it seems that pkg_add(1) does not make that as easy as one might prefer. I discovered recently that, even though I am running 8.1-RELEASE (and not 8-STABLE), pkg_add -r fetches from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/, rather than from the frozen-at-release -- and thus self-consistent -- collection in .../All/ One way around this is to set PACKAGESITE to, for example, ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/All/ (making any necessary adjustments to the mirror and release names). ___ 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: Installing X11 gives perl version conflict
perryh running 8.1-RELEASE (and not 8-STABLE) [ ... ] perryh /packages-8.1-release/ AH HA The .message file contains the solution (I hope): packages-*-release directories are built from the ports collection shipped with the release, and are not updated thereafter. packages-*-stable and packages-*-current are updated roughly once a week. stable should be renamed bleeding-edge to warn dunderheads like me that think stable means stable rather than unstable. And maybe web browsers should automagically display the .message file. THANK YOU !!!
