I have examined the various port status portals but I am unclear as to whether difficulties I am currently experiencing are consistent with these, or are up to date with current work. I have managed to semi-successfully build openFoam 1.4.1(_0) under 7.0_RELEASE by installing packages of dependant things that were broken such cups-base-1.3.5_2 and linuxpluginwrapper. However this does not appear to succeed as ultimately expected, because of things like ParaFoam not recognising .foam files. My next thought is to build openFoam with a 7.1-BETA2 ports tree, which seems a little more nuanced from an openFoam point of view. I have also found a diff in your people.freebsd.org which appears to contain fixes for PVFoamReader but am unsure where this diff features in the timeline. I look forward to your response. Regards Richard Samuel
