I just rebuilt the machine as the problem was doing my head-in. Freebsd
5.3-beta5. Basically, X-Developer distro with KDE installed as desktop. 

The first port I try to to install is generally CVSUP. I get the
"config.guess not found" error straight away... as below.

I am not sure how to proceed. I'm tempted to fall back to 4-Stable which was
working fine. Switching to FreeBSD-5 has been a nightmare. I just wanted to
try PF & Fwbuilder2 as a firewall.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of posts on the list with this problem so I'm
assuming its a problem specific to me... but weird.

Any help much appreciated. 

Cheers,
Phil.
