:)   No offense taken!  I'm a longtime SunOS/Solaris user, and the wonderfull
world of *BSD ports collection make me...  Well, let's just say it made my
day.   :)  No need to worry about what you needed....  Just cd
/usr/ports/whatever/port/ && make install .  Done.  No extra hoops, no extra
fixing, nothing!  If Solaris could do that, I think it would be the perfect
OS.  But, I guess my bigotry is showing....  :)  Gotta watch that in my
advancing years, lest I be called a 'Berkeley Hippie.'  Oh, wait--That's a
compliment!
