But, this brings up another issue... Thanks for the tip about portmanager. However, I use usually execute make directly. In fact, what I *like* do is something like "make | tee logfile.txt" so I can go back and inspect the output. But a number of ports execute a gtk(?)-based config that displays full-screen. When using tee (or, of course, redirecting output via >), it's next to impossible to navigate around the config screen in my term. Any suggestions on how to deal with this? Is there a way to get them to use a traditional configure dialog that presents one option at a time? (I was baffled the first time one of these screens popped up. It just seems so antithetical to the whole compiling from source thing, y'know? Like gourmet cooking in a microwave or something...)
