I was trying this on a NetBSD system recently, I suspect the same procedure may work for FreeBSD. The problem is that the distribution includes a dynamically linked copy of perl 4.036. Every other program in the distribution is statically linked and works fine. What I did was to unpack the distribution, replace the bad perl with a native version of 4.036, adjust PackingList accordingly and then tar'ed and compressed it. You then run install-Architext normally... -- Dave Cornejo There is nothing so subtle Dogwood Media as the obvious Fremont, California
