Thanks for the quick reply. As for the failure... It fails at make fetch because there is no MASTER_SITES variable set. Since the source files are distributed by MicroAPL, the pre-fetch message says to download their tarball for linux, and to set SRC_FILES to the directory you saved the tarball to (the tarball should be called aplx_linux_pe_11.tgz, I think). So, since make fetch cannot possibly work, and since it is impossible to override the do-fetch procedure, a make copy is required.
I might point out we can't set MASTER_SITES to the MicroAPL distribution because they email an activation code to anyone who chooses to download the tarball. The port is modeled after the maple port which requires you use the port to retrieve the files from the Maple CD. After all, Maple isn't exactly free. As far as I know, after a make copy, the port should work just as smoothly as others. I hope this helps. If you encounter any more problems, feel free to put voice to them.
