If that option is selected, the dependent port MUST be built with an option that is not selected by default. Is there a way to either force that option to be selected in the dependent port? Or, failing that, is it possible to pop up a message warning the installer that they must select that option before building the dependent port or, if they've already installed it without the option, they must deinstall and reinstall after selecting that option? -- Paul Schmehl, Senior Infosec Analyst As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. ******************************************* "It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use of reason as to administer medication to the dead."
