>Description:
After initially running the port, i discovered it has too be run as root first, as the program requires write access to /usr/local/share/eagle so as to be able to write an "eagle.key" file after reading the freeware.key file in the "bin" dir, which of coarse only has root write perms, it also will not run initially when selecting "Run as Freeware" ( as an end user) due, i assume too the above.
After running it as "root" and selecting "Run as Freeware" the program runs fine when run under a normal user.
I've included a pkg-message which i think would be helpfull for new users. Please edit if neccesary.

XOnce this has been done, you can delete the "eagle" directory in your
