>Environment:

	I am using ports-current ftp'ed from ftp6.freebsd.org on 11/29/96.

>Description:

	Expect is misconfigured to do nothing when ranlib needs to be
run.  There also appears to be problems with generating the shared libraries.

>How-To-Repeat:

	cd /usr/ports/lang/expect
	# Remake MD5 checksum.  It doesn't match.
	# One of the patches also does not apply correctly.
	mv patches/patch-ae patch-ae
	make

>Fix:
	
	This is really a work around.

	1. Edit /usr/ports/lang/expect/Makefile to disable shared library
support. 

	2. Instead of just doing a "make install", first "make
configure".  Then edit the top level expect Makefile changing the
value of RANLIB from ":" to "ranlib".  Then "make install" like
normal.
