Yeah, you're right, you had it right. If and when I finally get ports-management to comment on my thesis, and IF they finally agree with me, I guess I'm going to be forced to completely zero out my entire system (damn, what a PITA) and get things fixed right from the beginning. Back some years back, when I was very active in ports last, I had to maintain my system in an extremely "clean" status, because otherwise, one can never really guarantee that what builds fine one your system won't break on everyone else's. Anyhow, I said I made no effort to record what I did, and if in this case I misremembered, please don't take it as an insult to your work, which does look like you did a fine job of it. This, at least, is one port that DOES do things as I would have them. The only way I'm going to get things to be for certain, it's to start over from the beginning, and this time follow the procedures that any serious porter (such as you) already knows by heart. I'm not going to try to repeat all that here. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHi8FSz62J6PPcoOkRAv92AJ0fXol9ju7rXM6owJKMVQ7UxbUOIQCgkCKb 7XZMdPkycUska0hzLlXq8wo= =7waE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
