I can't try it myself as I've only got the 2.0.5 ports here. >I tried to skip this step in the Makefile, but still it crashes. Does anyone know how can I fix this and build xspread ? You can get around the checksum test that the make does by doing # cd /usr/ports/something/xspread # mkdir work # cd work # tar xzf /usr/ports/distfiles/xspread2.1.tar.gz # touch .extract_done # cd .. # make although this won't help you if the .tar.gz file is corrupt - you'll probably have to download a new copy in that case.
