I am trying to install the vmware3 port.

osage# uname -a
FreeBSD osage.telecom.ksu.edu 5.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE #0: Thu Aug 21 
23:27:06 CDT 2003   root at osage.telecom.ksu.edu:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/OSAGE
 i386
osage# pwd
/usr/ports/emulators/vmware3
osage# make install
===>  vmware3-3.2.1-2237_1 is marked as broken: Kernel source files required.

okay, fine, the source files ARE installed

/usr/ports/emulators/vmware3/Makefile line 40 says:
SRC_BASE?=	/usr/src

shouldn't that be:
SRC_BASE?=	/usr/src/sys


anyway, i did that, it compiled and starts up. just letting anyone who may 
care know about it.
