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...
