(I figure Andreas is reading this...) The Ghostscript 5 port is broken, as follows: - It requires the jpeg6 and png ports for building, but fails to detect that they are already installed. Instead, it depends on the file /nonexistent, ie. it *always* extracts, builds and installs both these ports. This will fail if they have already been installed. - It attempts to execute scripts/configure, which is not executable. Instead, the script should be fed to sh. (This may be a generic ports infrastructure thing.) I hope these complaints are useful. mike
