Dear all,

I want to install mysql from ports via "cd /usr/ports/database/mysql51-server" command, n continue to "make install".. but what happen is, my installation is never finish..it's always repeat automatically continue n continue again..i try to stop the instalation in the middle of progress.. and this is the warning :

Code:
cd . && /bin/sh /usr/ports/databases/mysql51-client/work/mysql-5.1.33/missing --run autoconf
 cd . && /bin/sh /usr/ports/databases/mysql51-client/work/mysql-5.1.33/missing --run automake-1.10 --foreign

i thought it was because i don't have : "automake", "autoconf", n "GNU M4" package, but, when i start to : pkg_add "autoconf", or "automake" first, an error shows is :

Code:
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c -o root -g wheel
checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: newly created file is older than distributed files!
Check your system clock
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to [email]johans@stack.nl[/email] [maintainer] and attach the
"/usr/ports/devel/m4/work/m4-1.4.12/config.log" including the output of the
failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide an
overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls /var/db/pkg`).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/m4.

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/m4.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf262.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/automake110.

Even when i try to install "m4" package, the error still same.. :(

Well then, i can't install the package, and mysql too.. :(

Plz help me..what should i do to solve this things..

Thanks,

Cruz

Well, you might want to do as the error message says, and "Check your clock."

Also, any given package should pull in the auto* stuff if it needs it. My general policy on any failure with those is to:
Step 0: % ls /var/db/pkg/auto* (to make sure nothing I want to keep is named auto*)
then
Code:
# pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/auto\*
And try the install again.

If that fails, try manually installing them from ports (not packages), like
Code:
 # cd /usr/ports/devel/m4 && make install clean
and so on, for the auto* stuff as well.

You might consider reupdating your ports tree as well, in case you got a weird, bum set.

If that fails, well . . . I have found alcohol to be a wonderful source of comfort.
 
@DutchDaemon, i am so sorry about that sir, and thanks to fix it.. :D


@fronclynne, thanks sir, i was try to remove auto* package, but there is no auto* package that i should remove.. -___-" so i check the clock system, i fix it..and continue to reinstall the package, and it's done..Hehehe..thanks about ur clue sir.. :D
