I know building ports from source is discouraged, but I still like to do it to keep base libraries and ports in sync as much as possible. Maybe there are not many people who do built the ports from source - its hard to tell. Anyway your description of the dependency chain shows the situation is quite complicated - I'll leave it to you ports people, and workaround the bits that aren't ideal from my point of view. Cheers, Brett.
