Yes, I know about that. I never tried to run the BSD make on targets
for gmake, I just meant to do the normal `make install` to make sure
it is not portupgrade getting in the way.

Ahh, sorry, my fault. I misread your previous message, as in "you have
to have '.' in your path". Must have been to early in the morning or I
am just a little stupid lately :)

So I removed '.' from root's path and suddenly, it worked. Thanks a
lot for that! This would never have crossed my mind!

It's gone now, and will never come back in... Somehow funny, just a
simple dot was the cause of my headaches and months of thought and
build errors :)

Thanks a lot again Bryan!
