FreeBSD Port: rsync-2.6.2

Tue Jul 13 07:14:44 PDT 2004

Good day,

I am trying to install the rsync 2.6.2 port on a FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE machine
but I keep getting the following error:

rsync comes with an included version of popt.:No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net/rsync.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net/rsync.

I am not sure whether this means that popt must be pre-installed or not.
But popt was not installed and if I try to install it (popt-1.6.4_2) I get
this error:

===>  Extracting for popt-1.6.4_2
>> Checksum OK for popt-1.6.4.tar.gz.
===>  Patching for popt-1.6.4_2
===>  Applying FreeBSD patches for popt-1.6.4_2
-E: not found
*** Error code 127

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/popt.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/popt.

I am very new to freeBSD (I am a linux user) and I have been searching
around the doc on the web only to get more confused.  Can you help me solve
this please?
