Everything worked so far except for one error: If you really wish to overwrite the old port of www/opera without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER" in your environment or the "make install" command line. I'm not certain of how to do either of those things. How do I delete the old ver completely and/or ste the variable to force pkg register? ~James
