Hi, On my 3.4-STABLE (as of early Jan) with the 2000.01.05 update for ports, xpdf has absolutely no problem compiling, configuring, or otherwise working. I've tried this on two different 3.4-STABLE machines, so I can only assume wihtout looking into this too much more that either something new in 3.4-STABLE broke it, or your system is out of sync in some way. Regarding why it is not on the CD, if you take a look at the Makefile, it's marked restricted if package building due to it containing crypto. The real question is, with the new US legislation, I've seen Microsoft claim that they can make high encryption available to anyone. Can we do the same? I claim absolutely no legal knowledge though, just something I saw on windows update regarding the high encryption package for win2k.
