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.
Ok, but I'm not too clear on what issues those might be that would apply
to this situation, other than the path.
Have you edited /etc/make.conf as well?
No, I hadn't gotten around to that yet for this box, and it's an empty
file by default. I seem to recall only using it to exclude things I don't
want rebuilt every time I do a make world, like perl, bind, etc.
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.
For gags, I deinstalled the ports version of pcre and pcre++ and installed
pcre from tarball and got the same result, so it doesn't look like a ports
issue, which I have seen from time to time.
FYI, I just went and tried to install maildrop from FreeBSD ports and it
worked. Wierd...
