This brings me to a problem I had trying to use the port for webalizer,
which is also dependant on gd.  In 3.4-RELEASE, attempting to install that
port results in a veritable avalanch of dependancies, starting with gd,
which then wants to install a 400MB X server (!), among other things.

Is this neccessary?  I'd really rather not have X on a web server...in any
case, it eventually won't install it anyway, because gd is looking for
"xmkmf":

su-2.03# make NO_CHECKSUM=yes install
===>  Extracting for webalizer-1.30.4
===>   webalizer-1.30.4 depends on shared library: gd.0 - not found
===>    Verifying install for gd.0 in /usr/ports/graphics/gd
===>  Extracting for gd-1.7.3
===>   gd-1.7.3 depends on shared library: png.3 - found
===>   gd-1.7.3 depends on shared library: ttf.4 - found
===>   gd-1.7.3 depends on shared library: Xpm.4 - not found
===>    Verifying install for Xpm.4 in /usr/ports/graphics/xpm
===>  Configuring for xpm-3.4k
xmkmf: not found
*** Error code 127

Stop.

the file actually does exist in other ports collections:

su-2.03# locate xmkmf
 <snip>
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/FWF/files/xmkmf

so I copy that to something in my path, and I get this:

su-2.03# make NO_CHECKSUM=yes install
===>  Extracting for webalizer-1.30.4
===>   webalizer-1.30.4 depends on shared library: gd.0 - not found

===>  Configuring for xpm-3.4k
imake: not found
make: don't know how to make Makefiles. Stop
*** Error code 2

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

You know the ports collection *usually* makes life easier... :-/
