The BROKEN line in the port's Makefile ought to specify a reason why the port is broken, but for more information consider: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/dads- noinstall.html If you figure out how to fix the problem with the port, submit your changes via send-pr or discuss the matter with the port's maintainer (or here on this mailing list). -- -Chuck
