Sorry.., I neglected to mention the error.., Running this again at the moment so that I can post the error. Sorry.

Ahh.., excellent.., So I can ask at this point:
By "clean system" do you refer to a newly installed 4.8 Rel system, or 4.8 Stable.., or a CURRENT?

I ask this, because there's no reference to what base you should have installed at the FAQ, only a reference to ensuring that one has cvsup'd all ports to the latest versions..,

I'll post the latest errors when pwlib completes.

Thanks again, Mezz..,

Stacey
