It lets us save our waning mind reading powers for important cases, like working out what the wife actually wants for her birthday when all she says is "oh, any little thing will do". :-) > Apparently, I installed it from a package, so I did a pkg_delete > automake and then started my portmaster -a again and it seems to be > running fine. Ah, the third option which I forgot to mention. It's always the option one forgets to mention that works. In theory package install and port install are supposed to be the same (modulo config options). In practice there are odd cases, and automake seems to provoke them. Thinking back, I've had to pkg_delete it before now in order to upgrade, and I always install from ports.
