Either way, how would that stop the port from installing shared libraries? In the past, the RSARef was export-restricted from the USA. There are certainly some crytographic libraries which would fail to install (namely librsa) if you didn't specifically specify that you were not a USA resident. RSA's patent has expired, however, and as I look through the Makefiles, this is probably not your issue. -- Christopher Farley Northern Brewer / 1150 Grand Avenue / St. Paul, MN 55105 www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
