portmaster problem

Hello,

When I do # portmaster -an to look if there are any updates in FreeBSD 8.0 I see these messages appear.
Code: 
cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/lang/rubyruby-19
cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/lang/rubyruby-19
cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/lang/rubyruby-19
cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/lang/rubyruby-19
cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/lang/rubyruby-19
make: Max recursion level (500) exceeded.: Resource temporarily unavailable
"Makefile", line 36: warning: "cd /usr/ports/lang/rubyruby-19; /usr/bin/make -V WRKDIR" returned non-zero status

I have installed ruby 1.9 by using the Ruby Versions Manager

I am a Ruby developer. I haven't ever used RVM, and didn't find it necessary. I believe it is best to use built-in methods (like ports) to install software. I am not sure how you can revert and install ruby from ports, but maybe someone here does.

PS: The name of the port in the Makefile seems messed up, there is no such port. It is quite normal that it can't cd there.

FreeBSD 8.0 is End-of-Life since November 2010, upgrade to 8.3.
 
Hello,

I updated to 9.0-release but still the error appears.
After every update with # portmaster I see it.

Remove the ruby you installed outside of FreeBSD's port/package system.

I'm having this problem too. I'm with 8.2 still. I'm also using RVM but I installed it for my local user only, not globally.

I usually disable RootLogin in sshd_config, so the only way to connect is with my account, and then su to root. My screenrc also has shell -${SHELL}

When I executed portsdb -Uu, I got the same problem.

I enabled temporarily RootLogin and ssh with my root account, so far I'm not having that problem.

portmaster does not like portsdb. You should go with portmaster OR portupgrade. Do NOT use both on the same system.
