FreeBSD Install Problem
  • I am trying to install LiveSupport on FreeBSD v5.4 I have Campsite installed

    and working fine, however LiveSupport is giving a strange error. It is saying

    that popt is not installed, yet it is looking in the correct directory

    (/usr/local/lib) and not finding the popt libraries - please see below.

    I used gmake because make produced the following error:

    "Makefile", line 286: Need an operator
