But I do not want to require the other package as a dependency; I just want to make sure that *if* it is installed, it is the right version. I couldn't discern a Makefile directive that would do this. If someone could point me in the right direction / show me an example of a port that does this kind of checking, please reply on- or off-list. Thanks, Mike
