So an updated ports tree should incorporate that change now shouldn't it. true, but from what i have been able to sniff out on my own, ports configuration data are stored in /usr/local/include, not anywhere in the ports tree, so that if png has been installed already & you do a "make showconfig" in /usr/ports/graphics/png, the data are read from files in /usr/local/include, & if you run "make config" in /usr/ports/graphics/png, the files affected by any change are in /usr/local/include, not anywhere in the ports tree. this has been a learning experience for me & prolly will continue to be as others here correct me. david coder
