>Description:

freeBSD has the base system files everywhere except in usr/local/*, the
ports install into usr/local to keep things separate. ports/lang/newlisp
tries to access an initialization file as "/usr/share/newlisp/init.lsp"
which can't be reconfigured ATM. i think ports/lang/newlisp should
access "/usr/local/share/newlisp/init.lsp".  this is the only file
i know off that doesn't install correctly, maybe because the path is
hardwired in line 51 of "work/newlisp-9.0.0/newlisp.c".

>How-To-Repeat:

install the port, read the documentation, strace(1) newlisp and watch
the open(2) calls.

>Fix:

a symbolic link from usr/share/newlisp -> usr/local/share/newlisp/ is
enough to work around the problem, but a patch would be better.
