Most ports will install any required dependencies themselves, so you
shouldn't have to do it yourself. Lately while installing ports I have
found that the ftp server supplying the sources is busy, and the make
will fail. It's hard to say from the error you supplied above, but if
that is happening to you, your two choices are to (1) manually fetch
the required source distribution and make the port again, or (2) just
keep retrying until `make' succeeds. I usually go with method (1) to
save time.

If you're still having trouble, try to capture the exact error message
returned when make fails (maybe using script(1) or a redirection if
you don't already have X running to cut/paste).

Good luck.

Chuck
