If you run FreeBSD, upgrade to version 5 or better.

Upgrade your ports to make sure you are building the latest version (`man cvsup`) and try again. Did you manually add the changes in /etc/*?

 

[foucaulo]

the response is yes and no (manualy entry)
(i'm novice on bsd)
for group i used sysinstall
for user i used adduser
and for aliases i edit the file with vi
for add group, aliases or user can i use vi??
tank you very much

The great part about BSD and Linux systems is that you can go in and edit things manually; you can always edit the config files. The reason I asked is because your build died at

mv: cannot resolve /root/postfix/posfix-2.1-5/ junk:/root/usr

like it was looking for the postfix home (or maybe build) directory, but was looking in your root instead.

Check to make sure you're running the version you think you are by running `uname -a`. Then check out

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

on how to get the latest source tree!

Hi!

Try this:
Open your /etc/aliases and remove or comments line contain junk:/root/usr
then make install again.

Good Luck
