Please don't cross post. If you have a problem building a port mail it to the maintainer and/or [EMAIL PROTECTED] I rarely read misc@ due to the signal to noise ratio. I can't say that I've seen this one before. Why not delete the file in question and restart the build as the error message suggests? If indeed the file is corrupted, perhaps you have bad memory or a failing hard drive. -Kurt
