You can't do it that way.  First, you need to make sure your ports are up=20
to date.  *Then* install netperf using the port.  (I just did, on 5.4=20
RELEASE, and it installed without a hitch.)  The port installed=20
netperf-2.3pl1.tar.gz, not netperf-2.4.0.tar.gz.  If you want 2.4.0, you're =

on your own, and you'll have to figure out how to get it to compile on=20
FreeBSD.  The netperf Makefile *might* be helpful.  It might also be=20
helpful to look at the port files after typing "make".  You'll find that=20
there are 14 patchfiles in the files/ directory and a configure script in=20
the scripts/ directory.

I'm betting you can't compile this port yourself, unless you're a=20
programmer and you understand configure and Makefile instructions clearly.=20
Or maybe you can - but you're pretty much on your own.
