I finally threw my hands up and used a precompiled package instead (they can be a lifesaver at times). I generally do make a serious effort to work through any issues I encounter with ports before simply surrendering. Often, in the process, some other heretofore "hidden" problem comes to light, and the effort winds up yielding more than one benefit. Of course, it's hard to shake that nagging feeling when there's clearly something wrong somewhere on your system: if there's a package available for port X, then obviously it was buildable by someone, somewhere, so what the @%&! is wrong with *my* machine? :-) -- Conrad J.
