This port requires that the gd extension include xpm support, which relies on a long dependency chain of x11 libraries. Since many PHP users run production web servers, myself included, it is not desirable to include any x11 components for security or maintenance purposes. I am able to compile gd by itself without xpm support, but for some reason the php5-gd port only seems to use the bundled gd. Having a configure option in this port to use the shared gd library or exclude xpm support would make things much easier for system administrators ;-) I welcome your thoughts or ideas on the matter. Thanks for your help! Nicholas Solon
