thanks for your reply Shep !
I am fully aware that prebuild packages are safer .. but going current has always been a tempting experience to me as a newb ..
I'd be thankful is you could paraphrase your helpful reply into examples :
practically How can I :
* edit a makefile ?
* submit a compile log ?
a how-to example would help much ..
I downloaded the latest snapshots and stricly did a {make install clean} for all ports ..
I am currently on 5.0 stable disk ..
tomorrow I'm changing disks and putting the error logs here ..
I remember all errors were related to gmake and gettext as both couldn't compile ..
