Yeppers :) You need your own bison, install that in your home architecture. It's not wise to install that into /usr/local as there are a few ports you may want, that depend on it. Find out by: find /usr/ports -name "Makefile" -print | xargs egrep -l '^[A-Z_]+_DEPENDS.*bison' As for libtool, apparently there are ports which depend on 1.3.4_4. The rough estimate is 30%. You can do 2 things - install libtool the same way as bison, which is the safest. OR - apply the attached patch to /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk. Then set IGNORE_FREEBSD_LIBTOOL in your environment. If a certain port fails, because it really does need 1.3.4, you can unset it and note the port. Personally - I haven't seen one. It also doesn't hurt to unset it when building the world. Remember that cvsup with the ports, may overwrite your change. Met vriendelijke groeten / With kind regards, Webmaster IDG.nl Melvyn Sopacua
