That is where I probably got into trouble was when Ruby failed to update, I tried make deinstall, make reinstall, and then make install, cleaning and rebooting each time but they all result in the same error. I have sent off and email to the maintainer of the port, no response thus far, I also, after spending several hours of trying to figure out which email list to post to on FreeBSD, sent off 3 emails that never went through. So I sent a test email that went through and instead of asking if I am having trouble with the list, they promptly jumped down my throat and blacklisted me as if I have nothing better to do than send them test emails so I won't be trying them anymore. I appreciate your responses greatly though but I guess this is just too hard for a newbie like me and I don't seem to have any luck installing this stuff as it seems that these ports always error out and never just install. I got it to give me the other error that I get by trying to reinstall portupgrade, just for your reference: rbconfig.rb updated ./mkconfig.rb:157: undefined method `touch' for FileUtils:Module (NoMethodError) *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/lang/ruby18/work/ruby-1.8.5. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/lang/ruby18. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
