Try "make fetch-recursive-list" to get a list of the files to download for that port and all of it's dependencies. I'd also recommend installing from packages whenever possible in that situation. You can get a list of the packages that a port depends on with "make package-depends-list". http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
