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.

One thing that it could be related to is that I originally installed perl 5.6.2 on this system, then deinstalled it and installed 5.8.8, which broke all kinds of things. So far, every package that I've seen affected has been fixed by doing a "make deinsall", "make clean" and "make install".

My guess at this point is that perhaps there's another dependancy for maildrop that's been affected...I'll have to hunt around for it, I guess. :-/

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin

Cannot see anything other than PATH that's relevant here?
