Thanks for going through all the trouble and trying to fix this. I have a question however, regarding libltdl. Should we (the maintainers) force a port into compiling/linking its own libltdl or should we make the port use devel/libltdl? I had it happen several times, that the libltdl/configure shipping with the software itself is rather buggy, because it can't cope with the way configure gets called in the FreeBSD ports (that is: configure 'CC=3Dgcc' 'PREFIX=3D/usr/local' =2E..) So should one try to use system tools wherever possible (including auto{conf,make}/libtool/libltdl) or should one use the tools the software itself provides? (that is, try to change as few things as required) Ulrich Spoerlein --=20 PGP Key ID: F0DB9F44 Get it while it's hot!
