I type make, it can't find the correct file locally so tries to ftp it, which is fine. However, it invokes ncftp with a -N parameter, which doesn't exist, so it fails. The big problem is that I can't find where the port makefiles are calling ncftp so I can defenestrate this option. Can someone help? Thanks in advance. Alex
