Install of libxml2 fails - how to resolve this?

K

worked last night and all this am searching on how to work around the below issue. You think something could be wrong with the port? Please offer tip on how to resolve this.


Code: 
# cd /usr/ports/textproc/libxml2
# 
# make install
===>  Patching for libxml2-2.7.5
===>  Applying FreeBSD patches for libxml2-2.7.5
Ignoring previously applied (or reversed) patch.
5 out of 5 hunks ignored--saving rejects to Makefile.in.rej
=> Patch patch-aa failed to apply cleanly.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/textproc/libxml2
 
Try a # make clean in the port directory first. It looks like there's 'old work' lying around.

Always include a 'clean' when installing a port ([cmd=]make install clean[/cmd]).
 
no go

Thank you for the moving of this post and the reply.

Which part of the message tips you off to me needing to do a "clean"

PS - now a new issue has surfaced -

Code: 
# cd /usr/ports/textproc/libxml2
# 
# make clean
===>  Cleaning for libxml2-2.7.5
# 
# 
# make install clean

The "Ignoring previously applied (or reversed) patch" part made it look like the port had already been 'run' before.

But on closer inspection there appears to be a different problem: the port you're trying to build is old. The current version is libxml2-2.7.6_1.

I advise you to update your ports tree(1), then update your installed ports(2) (be sure to read and apply relevant information from /usr/ports/UPDATING), and then try building this port again.

(1) # portsnap fetch update
(2) [cmd=]pkg_version -vL=[/cmd]
 
I've had a similar issue when updating from FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 -> 8.0-RELEASE, resolved removing ports with:
Code: 
rm -fr /usr/ports/*
and then redownloading them using portsnap:
Code: 
portsnap fetch extract

Hope this helps!
 
That's the extremely thorough variation, yes. You don't need the 'update' there though -- you're extracting an up-to-date ports tree already, and you removed anything to update against earlier ...

You're right, sorry...just a little mess up :P
 
Wow that took a long time but she is working.

I tried
Code: 
(1) # portsnap fetch update
(2) pkg_version -vL=
(3) portupgrade -a

That didn't do it

So I tried - to remove libxml from /usr/ports/distfiles - make install clean

The didn't do it

Finally got it all fresh and clean with a

Code: 
rm -fr /usr/ports/*
portsnap fetch extract

Learned a lot from this single issue. Will document and keep on trucking. Off to install mySQL now.

Many thanks
