FreeBSD Commonly Encountered Errors Posted by jo , Thursday, October 8, 2009 at 5:21 AM, in

This blog is about what i encountered with FreeBSD like "make install command", "No such file or directory" and etc.


Problems with "make install command"
The problem about make install is that your prerequisite software of what you are trying to install is out-dated like this: Error: Could not fetch isoENTS.zip-not found at /usr/ports/distfile

Solution:
What i did is upgrade the out-dated software using the deinstall and reinstall command

Another problem was an error that could not fetch on the distfiles like this:

Solution:
What i did is to fetch it manually using fetch command on the distfiles

Problems with looking for a fileand returns "No such file or directory"

After i installed horde-turba, i was stuck with this problem:
cd /usr/local/www/apache22/data/horde/turba/scripts/sql/turba_objects_msyql.sql
turba_objects_msyql.sql:No such file or directory

Solution:
turba_objects_msyql.sql is the same as turba.sql


NOTE: Before doing anything else like installing third party software, do the following things:
1) Update FreeBSD System
freebsd-update fetch

then install,

freebsd-update install

then reboot your system after installing.
2)Update relevant ports by:
portsnap fetch update

then extract,

portsnap fetch extract
