That thread (I'm assuming you're referring to the one in Nov. on FreeBSD-ports) is no longer relevant after Doug's commit (which was announced in that thread): http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/graphics/ImageMagick/Makefile.diff?r1=1.313;r2=1.314 The suggestion that users set that variable was a temporary hack that should never have been needed, were it not for the earlier problems with the port, which have since been resolved (in part, anyway). PERL_THREADED should only be defined when it is used, and should record whether the perl port being used is threaded, and not some user-selected value. The questions I originally asked were in: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2010-December/225501.html (This thread is a little hard to follow because it's spread between two lists, -questions and -ports, with some replies not being sent to -ports.) > I also wonder if the OP's ports tree is up to date. That's a good question. He mentioned that he was updating a lot of ports, so I'm assuming that it is, but it's something that he should check. b.
