Thanks for the suggestion, it allowed me to create an INDEX.db.   However, I 
still have a problem compiling most, if not all ports.  For example, below 
are sample outputs for "devel/libltdl15" and "databases/postgresql7."

===>  Configuring for libltdl-1.5.8
cp: /usr/ports/devel/libltdl15/work/libtool-1.5.8
/usr/ports/devel/libltdl15/work/libtool-1.5.8
/usr/ports/devel/libltdl15/work/libtool-1.5.8/libltdl
/usr/ports/devel/libltdl15/work/libtool-1.5.8/libltdl/config.guess: No such 
file or directory

===>  Configuring for postgresql-7.4.5
cp: /usr/ports/databases/postgresql7/work/postgresql-7.4.5/config
/usr/ports/databases/postgresql7/work/postgresql-7.4.5/config/config.guess: 
No such file or directory


Any port I try to install gives me a similar error regarding config.guess.  
In searching, I haven't found anybody else who has experienced the same 
problem.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Travis Troyer
