Hi all...

This may be more of a -ports issue, but I'm not "there" right now...

I'm running 3.4-stable as of 2000/02/28, originally installed
from CDs as 3.4-release.  I also keep the /etc things merged-in...

How can I get xpdf?

Even though it shows up in the ports tree, the description says
it is in both "graphics" & "print" but it is only listed in
"graphics."

Xpdf is not on *any* of the CDs.  I could've sworn it was on
previous CDs; how did it get left out?  I'd think xpdf would be
a "biggie..."

Ok, so the make in /usr/ports/graphics/xpdf goes & tries to ftp things...
and...
Configure stops on checking for external symbols requiring
underscore prefix; no error message...  it just stops...  I had
do control-c to get out...  And I still have no xpdf...

No readmes...  no howtos...  no errata...

So...  What's up here?  Btw, xpdf is not the only one that
(mis)behaves like this; there have been a couple of others, but
I can't remember them right now...

Thanks,

-kc
