I am trying to install mySQL 1.41 from the ports tree, but it hangs. He says that: "The host 'hostname' could not be looked up." I changet the hostname to the correct one. $ hostname server.com And it still hangs and says this error. It said that --force whould do it, but I don't know how to do this.... :( I tried: $ make install --force But it didn't work... Please help!
