solution: "mv" from GNU FileUtils
Authored by: blakers on Nov 06, '03 02:08:21PM
The "mv" util that ships with Panther complains about symlinks in general ... The (a?) fix is to upgrade to the "mv" from GNU FileUtils v4.1 here's the quick step-by-step to get/build/install it:

fileutils-4.1:
reference URL: coreutils
Downloads: fileutils-4.1.tar.gz

% unsetenv CFLAGS CPPFLAGS CXX CXXFLAGS LDFLAGS LDDLFLAGS ;\
% setenv CFLAGS "-no-cpp-precomp"

% gnutar zxf fileutils-4.1.tar.gz

% cd /usr/ports/fileutils-4.1

% ./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/fileutils \
--disable-nls

% make
% make install

% mv /usr/local/fileutils/bin/mv /bin/mv

% rehash
