My first suggestion is to begin using portmaster which can be found here: /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster

My second suggestion is to please never ever ever mess with CFLAGS on FreeBSD. You can get away with it on some Linux distros, but FreeBSD strongly discourages it.

My third suggestion is to keep at it and keep asking questions because we'd be glad to help :)

Thanks for your quick reply, but can you clarify what you mean about not messing with the CFLAGS? I mean I had only ever used that one setting taken from the example in /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf, and the only experimentation i did is either with it in make.conf, or nothing at all.

Do mean its proper not to have it at all in /etc/make.conf or about changing it's values? At the moment my /etc/make.conf just has 1 line with the Perl version entry, should i always leave cflags out?

thanks,
