What I meant to say is that in some ports s,/usr/local/${PREFIX}, isn't right, because it may be checking for something that was installed by another port. For example, webgliplse: RUN_DEPENDS+= ${PREFIX}/etc/apache/httpd.conf:${PORTSDIR}/www/apache13 It seems to me that that should be LOCALBASE, not PREFIX.
