hi sirs,

i face an unexpected error from making ImageMagick. they are

install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 ./www/Magick++/thumbnail-sample-plain.jpg /us
r/local/share/doc/ImageMagick/www/Magick++
===> Generating temporary packing list
===> Compressing manual pages for ImageMagick-5.5.1.4
===> Running ldconfig
/sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib
Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "fi")
*** Error code 2
Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/ImageMagick.

i do not know how to solve this problem. the only way is to rebuild my machine from source again. after my mchine is up, i remake the port again. and i still have the same error.

any helps are appreciated.

my machine is
firak# uname -a
FreeBSD firak.thai-aec.org 4.7-STABLE FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #2: Sun Nov 10 14:44:19
ICT 2002 ro...@firak.thai-aec.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/Firak i386
firak#

with best regards,
psr

bison, and other ports, suffered from problems with the recent
PORTCOMMENT changes that have now been backed out of the ports tree:

I ran into this with bison too. Here's the details. I sent this to
the ports list the other day. The ImageMagic error may be due to a
different variable w/shell metachars, or a different problem entirely.

While installing the port for devel/bison, I kept getting errors.
It turns out that bison has a PORTCOMMENT value with parens in it
which confuses the shell.
Putting quotes around the ${PORTCOMMENT} being echoed into the
+COMMENT file fixed things.
There may be other cases where vars should be quoted, too. Sorry, but
I don't have the time to search for them.
I'm not subscribed to this list, so I appreciate being CC'd on any
followup.

hi sirs,

after reading Andrew hints, my instinct tells me that i should cvsup a fresh(y) ports tree and remake agian.

the result was once again unexpected.

there is no error at all, sure enough after remaking world with GENERIC kernel.
i do not understand also. my system is

FreeBSD firak.thai-aec.org 4.7-STABLE FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #2: Sun Nov 10 14:44:19
ICT 2002 ro...@firak.thai-aec.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/Firak i386

%

anyway, i thanks to you all very much indeed.

with best regards,
psr
