I won't repeat the note about "it's not the right list..." but anyway...

If it does not recognize the makefile, it probably means that you have a problem with the ports repository. Did you download a fresh copy of ports.tar.gz from ftp.freebsd.org? I would recommend that you refresh the repository: rename the current tree to /usr/ports.old and install a freshly downloaded tree. Make sure you don't overwrite an existing tree as this will cause more trouble than help (sometimes, some patches make their way to the official archive and the patch system just breaks... or the patch has nothing to see with the source you just downloaded). Follow this by a "pkgdb -u" and you should be set. Hope it helps Olivier
