Did you edit 'root's environment at all?
Yes, I always do...usually exported from my wheel user's
bash_profile when I sudo su to root. I don't see why that would be
a problem unless something else is missing from my path...those lib
and include paths were added to try and fix this problem (no help,
though).
Well, hate to say it, but you created your own issues when you do/did
that.
Have you edited /etc/make.conf as well?
Try:
% su - root
and start fresh, unless you edited root's environment, things should
just work.
Don't fall into a trap of forcing things - figure out what you did to
break it, then undo it.
I agree...either FreeBSD 6.1-Stable's ports version of PCRE looks broken,
or maildrop...
As someone with over 100 FreeBSD boxes in production and I am moving
towards 6.1-STABLE - no, it isn't PCRE or maildrop.
Here is my env when 'su - root' on a dual PIII system running
6.1-STABLE - and a quick check of my other systems shows the same
environment.
