I am running FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE and am trying to install mozilla.
It went through the config dialog, and downloaded the files and began
to quietly churn around on the disk.  then it asked me which files it
should patch.  i killed it off, did a make clean, then a make install, and
it did it again:

phoenix# make install
===>  Vulnerability check disabled, database not found
===>  Found saved configuration for mozilla-1.7.2_2,2
===>  Extracting for mozilla-1.7.2_2,2
>> Checksum OK for mozilla-source-1.7.2.tar.bz2.
===>   mozilla-1.7.2_2,2 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.6.1 - found
===>  Patching for mozilla-1.7.2_2,2
===>   mozilla-1.7.2_2,2 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.6.1 - found
===>  Applying FreeBSD patches for mozilla-1.7.2_2,2
File to patch:

If i just hit return, it says:

No file found--skip this patch? [n]

if i respond with 'n', it goes back to to the "File to patch: " prompt.  If i say
'y' to the skip question, i get:

1 out of 1 hunks ignored--saving rejects to modules/libpref/src/unix/unix.js.rej

If i try to do another make, i get similar results:

phoenix# make install
===>  Patching for mozilla-1.7.2_2,2

What does it want me to tell it when its asking me for what file to patch?  shouldn't it
already know what it has to patch?


thanks,
ron.
