I'm sorry, but this is Wine's fault, not ours, that they are stuck on aout-style names, which have not been used in FreeBSD for nearly two years, ever since 3.0-CURRENT went stable, and some have been using ELF format in FreeBSD for longer than that. We're in the ELF world, not aout. Please consider putting the perl line in the port until Wine developers resync the sources on this issue. After all, no one who's going to run Wine is going to also be running FreeBSD 2.2.8 or earlier; we've got 4.0 out the door already... and ports do not support anything older than 3.4-STABLE anyway. -- Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com> GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
