Solved [Solved] Install nslookup from ports using bind-tools

F

Hello guys,

As nslookup was not included in 10-RELEASE, I have to install dns/bind-tools from the ports collection. But I've mistakenly chosen bind-base-9.9.5_12's REPLACE_BASE option as part of installing the package, and the installation will not continue. There's an error after make install clean saying:
Code: 
===>  bind-base-9.9.5_12 REPLACE_BASE option is not supported on this release.
*** Error code 1

stop
make: stopped in /usr/ports/dns/bind-tools

How can I successfully install dns/bind-tools again and skip this error?

Please advise, thanks!

Reset the saved options back to defaults and try again:

make -C /usr/ports/dns/bind-tools rmconfig

Well, simply re-configure dns/bind-tools. So run make config in the ports directory (or use # make -C /usr/ports/dns/bind-tools config) and then re-install it again. That can then be done by either running # make install manually or relying on tools such as portmaster.

If you do install it manually then I'd also advice to run # make clean in order to make sure that no left-overs are kept around.
