[Asterisk-bsd] Hello List :) New to Asterisk not new to FreeBSD

Sat Dec 3 21:10:29 CST 2005

I'm NOT using FreeBSD 6.0!

I originally tried the install on 6.0 b4 I came across that info.

I am now tryin to install on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE.

As to my issue with installing from the ports collection, it seems as though
I can not retrieve the proper file.  I guess I don't understand this phrase
correctly:

Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this
port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/ and try again.

Which I interpreted as dl the file manually and place it in
/usr/ports/distfiles.  Which I did.  Then moved back to the
/usr/ports/net/asterisk directory and proceded to make && make install with
the same results as earlier -> Error Code 1

(ugh)

What exactly does "port manually" mean to do???

Cup 'o coffee # 3 coming up!
