Hi, Due to a disk error I had to rebuild everything. While installing gnome port has not been able to fetch p5-xml-sax or at least part of it for two days now. See below for the error messages. Can anyone help. It can not be that so many site are down for so long. It looks like a typo in the port file for xml-sax. Not sure though. reagards Keith Excerpt from sudo port -d install gnome: DEBUG: Searching for dependency: gdbm DEBUG: Didn't find receipt, going to depspec regex for: gdbm DEBUG: Skipping completed
