Re: desperate Newb help
I have no idea why 'configure' is run. No configure is run for me at all. Looks like your ports tree isn't sane. How do you upgrade your portstree? Instead of using portupgrade, could you just execute the following: make -C /usr/ports/databases/qt4-sql clean build If youre new to freebsd, pkg_add -r packagename is infinitely easier than muddling through port build options. Brian Well i have been using freebsd for about a yr an i update my ports via svn, but i also maintain a standard copy of the ports tree via csup. Sadly the same error existed when i tried make -C /usr/ports/databases/qt4-sql clean build ... id gladly use pkg_add if had the pre-build pkg for QT4-sql vers 4.4.2 or even all the QT4 @ vers 4.5 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You need a .fetchmailrc file in your home directory. Some examples poll pop.domain2.com protocol POP3 timeout 60 no dns user loginname password 'poppassword' is homedirowner here, options fetchall fetchlimit 0 poll pop3.domain.com protocol POP3 user [EMAIL PROTECTED] password poppasswd is homedirowner here, options fetchall As you can see some ISP's require only your login name, others require [EMAIL PROTECTED]. You can run fetchmail -v to see where you get stuck. This is an example for googles gmail, using SSL poll pop.gmail.com protocol POP3 timeout 60 no dns user gmailname password gmailpassword ssl is homdirowner here, options fetchall fetchlimit 0 If you are new to all this MTA, MUA and SMTP thing, you could consider to use Pine. mutt is nice but as a beginner Pine is probably easier to understand and configure than mutt. Ah! If you want to learn to use Mutt, learn to use Mutt. Now that you've got an idea of how to setup fetchmail, you'll want to create a ~/.muttrc file. There are many, many sample .muttrc files online; Google is your friend. This is the example I worked from when I first setup Mutt: http://www.hserus.net/muttrc.html All I had to do to get Mutt working with ssmtp was to tell Mutt to use ssmtp in ~/.muttrc set sendmail=/path/to/ssmtp HTH, -- Joshua Lokken Open Source Advocate ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
