Seems it's the same error you had with net/samba4 in the other thread. I ask you to try pkg_libchk. If there's any output please post it.
Please post the output of less /etc/make.conf and uname -a.

pkg_libchk returned no output There's no make.conf file in directory /etc. Output of uname -a:

Code:

Maybe, it's something with the locale settings ?

What about the locale settings should be relevant?

In theory yes but there are some documented cases when a build tool breaks when the locale is set to anything else but the default "C" locale. Worth trying if that is the case here.

This is the output of locale. Is it relevant that LANG and LC_ALL aren't set to C as the other values are?

Code:

# locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=

Those are fine, I don't see any problem.

If I remember right I know this error from python27, but I am not sure if this the right path.

fugee279 · Sep 13, 2014

So what does that mean? Reinstall python27?

talsamon · Sep 13, 2014

I am not sure (I know this error in relation with python27 - it's a depency of samba41 - but I can't say if it causes it). I think it's your first installation of FreeBSD. There could be a lot of errors and missunderstoods. There's a lack of information. The error message tells not much.
It's a hard suggestion, but my idea is: Try a new reinstall - very slow and point for point.
My first installation of FreeBSD ended nearly on the same point. One problem I couldn't solve. Next installation it was no problem.
If there's not more information, it is hard to help.

Try 9.3 or try 10.0 again?

How you like, it does not matter. Before you make the new install check /var/log/messages for error-messages, to prevent repeat errors or mistakes. If you find some, please post it. You will find some /var/log/messages.X.bz2 - open it with bunzip2 and look also there.

It may be notable that whenever prompted I choose not to install man pages/docs

I find it more comfortable to have the man pages on the system. It's quicker as (?) to search in the internet. Nobody know all the options and parameters by hard.
