WordNet on bsd

[piggy]

I would like to install wordnet, the free thesaurus.
I ran portsnap fetch update .....then attempted to install the program.
pcbsd# cd /usr/ports/textproc/wordnet
pcbsd# make install
===> Patching for WordNet-3.0
===> Applying FreeBSD patches for WordNet-3.0
Ignoring previously applied (or reversed) patch.
24 out of 24 hunks ignored--saving rejects to lib/wnutil.c.rej
=> Patch patch-ab failed to apply cleanly.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/textproc/wordnet.
pcbsd#

Any ideas on how I might proceed ?

The patch operation failed, some times a port needs freebsd-specific patches applied to build correctly or to work around bugs.


I would e-mail the FreeBSD port maintainer, on freebsd.org/ports I see the address is mi [at] aldan [dot] algebra [dot] com


note; I replaced the @ with [at] and the . with [dot] 's to protect the persons e-mail address from spambots.

make clean install

Thanks for the input - this is the result.

make clean distclean install

That probably won't help but just as well give it a whirl to redownload the tar ball.

It's likey that either the files or the patch need to be edited.


The main idea of 'patch' is this is a file, this is the file with changes, let's try to merge the changes and see if they fit properly.
