Running 4.0 snap 06/24

I've about given up on the complexities of FreeWAIS as a local search
engine and wanted to try webglimpse as an alternative.

In the ports directory www/webglimpse, the `make' goes off with out a
whimper, but `make install' fails loadly with:

   trying to build httpget...
   c -O -pipe -s -o lib/httpget lib/httpget.c
   c -O -pipe -s -o lib/html2txt lib/html2txt.c
   UILD SUCCESSFUL.
   RROR - Aborting install. Cannot create directory "/usr/local/www/cgi-bin/"
   ** Error code 2
   
   top in /usr/ports/www/webglimpse.
   ** Error code 1
   
   top in /usr/ports/www/webglimpse.
   *** Error code 1

I'm not that clear on how the ports mechanism works so don't have much
of a clue where to begin debugging this.

The directories in the complaint are actually made and have some files
in them:

ls -F /usr/local/www/webglimpse/ :
.wgsiteconf     dist/           lib/

At the bottom of the Makefile is a line that says:

.include <bsd.port.mk>

What is that and where is it?
