I don't understand why I get this error. I have succesfully run ports from this machine(different installation of FBSD) before. I don't know what is wrong. I have gotten this error while trying to install Lynx and Netscape3. I downloaded all the ports from www.freebsd.org very recently. I was thinking it could be that the files are getting corrupted when they are downloaded but ruled this out by manually installing the downloaded files. I also thought it could be the file attributes but it seems to be allright. -rw-rw-r-- is the attributes of the downloaded files. I don't understand what is going wrong. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Stephane Raimbault
