[-- Attachment #1 --] Thank you. I've been studying the ports section of the handbook. I'll look at the methods listed for updating the ports, and I'll get Acroread.

The instant-workstation port is a "meta" port. That means it doesn't install anything for itself, but only lists dependencies. When you try to deinstall the port, there's nothing to deinstall. But the dependencies will still be there. If you look at the Makefile in instant-workstation, you'll see a list of runtime dependencies. These are what get installed when you install this meta-port. If you need to deinstall these, then you will need to do them by hand (one drawback to meta-ports). I don't know why acroread didn't get installed. You may try installing it all by itself and see what error messages you get (the actual port name is acroread4). But I suspect that ghostscript failed because of the checksum mismatch. The ghostscript-gnu port has been updated on a very frequent basis recently, and I suspect that you happen to have an out-of-sync port. The Handbook lists a variety of ways to update your ports collection.
