In this particular situation I was not inclined to do a cvsup. So I wanted to keep it simple. Just install whatever port was needed and get the show on the road. So of course my memory blanked on me. Couldn't remember what, which or even how. Which in 8.8.1 steered me to appendix A, where I didn't want to be. 8.8.2 did not provide an URL like 8.8.3 does and 8.8.4 is for binary which I also didn't want. When you're getting pressed for time you need simple and direct instructions. IOW the addition of the line "which is located in /usr/ports/security/librsaintl" to 8.8.2. > Perhaps it should say "its RSA implementation" rather than leaving the > posessiveness implied. I'll revisit it.. Thanks. Sorry for the putting of salt on snails, but as I found out but yesterday when you're pressed for time simple statements get a life of their own. And conspire to befuddle reason <g>.
