Error Installing Xorg-Minimal on Vmware (SS Added)

J

jerichoo

Hello all, this is my first post so I want to thank you all for in future help. I am already Gentoo user for years, now I intend to discover FreeBSD.

I am getting the following error when I try to install x11/xorg-minimal. Can anybody help me please?

The real error happens long before that. Error 1 is just a generic error that doesn't tell us anything.
 
Thank you for your answer. iI read the document and updated portsnap but iI ended up again with the same error for a different package.

Please, add to reduce the attempts needed to download a file in /etc/make.conf:
Code: 
RANDOMIZE_MASTER_SITES=yes
And try again.

If fails, you can try fetch(1)() it manually as follows:
Code: 
[CMD]# cd /usr/ports/disfiles && fetch ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/MesaLib-7.6.1.tar.bz2[/CMD]
MesaLib-7.6.1.tar.bz2                         100% of 4772 kB  273 kBps 00m00s
 
It seems that your problem is loss of/slow Internet connection, so your packages get just timed out. Did you experience Internet problems on your Gentoo box as well?

The first way did not work but second way worked fine. So should I do this every time I get this error?

Not even once.

Yes, as section 5.6.3. Installing Ports asserts:
Using the Ports Collection assumes a working Internet connection. Otherwise, manually obtain and place a copy of the distfile into /usr/ports/distfiles.

IMO it's very clear ;)

Also you can add those environment variables for fetch(1)(). For example, if you use csh(1)() add to your .cshrc file:
Code: 
setenv HTTP_TIMEOUT 30 
setenv FTP_TIMEOUT 30
 
Well, if it makes you feel any better, my wireless card doesn't work as well under FreeBSD as it does under Linux or Windows (at least on boot time), so I have to turn it off, and do it again. Before you fetch and assume you have a working Internet connection, try # ping google.con. That's what I usually do.

FreeBSD supports limited hardware in favor of performance. Maybe you should check which cards have the best support to avoid such problems.
