If and when you post to freebsd-questions, useful information would include, _in this case_: - Reiteration that it is a 'package' that you are trying to install, and not a 'port'. I suspect it's the latter since I can see little reason why almost any of the package would need any of the auto-tools as dependancies. I've been wrong before, however, and I do very little with packages. - The port/package you are having trouble with. - The version of the OS, and maybe other info if it wasn't a fresh install. - Whether your ports tree has ever been updated via 'cvsup' or some other mechanism, and if so, when. This strikes me as a bit of an unusual problem, frankly, for reasons I won't go into here. Knowing the above info may be of use to others who might be aware of such an issue at a certain point in the history of the ports tree. Thanks, - Tom
