After some googling, I found the following solution: 1. cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql323-client 2. rm -rf work 3. make extract 4. vi work/mysql-3.23.56/config find longlong. in the function that follows, change close to fclose. save file. 5. make 6. make install works like a champ. Seems to be a bug in the config script. thanks, Darryl _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
