You can't use FreeBSD 4.7's package with today ports. Your error shows was from port, not package. Well, in general, it's not good idea to mix packages with ports too. > libxslt does not seem to do so in this case. It will if you update libxml2 first; it's why I told you to use portupgrade. You are welcome to check pointyhat for the log and they will showing the success built.
