Are you connect to the internet as you do this?  I'm sure someone will
let me know if this is misinformation, but I believe that starting
with 4.0 that there are no files on the CD-ROM and that they all need
to be fetched by either the makefile or manually.

So, here are the solutions:
1) log onto the internet, then run the install
2) download the .tar.gz or .tgz file into /usr/porst/distfiles
   since that is where the makefile looks, also, and run the install

Good Luck,
Neill
