Okay, that was the problem. However, I fail to see why. Why is there a = difference between the "system" and "ports" 'ar' that causes this = problem to exist? Obviously, since one does exist, it would seem only = logical that the "port maintainer" would have hard coded which "ar" = he/she wanted invoked. At some point it would seem advantageous to = correct this problem permanently. Snce you were aware of this conflict, = I can only assume that someone else knows about it too. I changed the system path because I use "openssl" from ports. I want to = make sure that, that is the version used. Is there some way I can insure = that the "ports" version of "openssl" is used without changing the = "path" environment? Thanks! --=20 Carmel
