 * I just tried, as root, to install the tk4.1 port on my system
 * and was surprised to see it fail:

 * ./mkLinks /usr/local/man/mann
 * /sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib
 * *** Error code 255
 * 
 * This is complete reproducible, and will happen every time you run the
 * install rule.  The weird thing about it is that the exact ldconfig
 * command shown here succeeds when run by hand, which is why I'm not
 * immediately running to John Polstra with the problem. ;-)

This is very interesting.  Are you sure the ldconfig is not returning
non-zero?

Otherwise, that looks like an open-ended shell script or something.
At any rate, it works here....
