Hello again,

I have recently had some troubles adding programs via the ports collection. 
What seems to be happening is that I make the port but it then doesnt work.

First is WordPerfect 8. I tried to install it originally as Corel recommended,
but that failed.  I then tried to make it under the 3.1-Release ports (after
downloading the correct file) and it still failed.  Here is the breakdown:


myname# make install
===>  Installing for wordperfect-8.0
===>   wordperfect-8.0 depends on file: /compat/linux/lib/libc.so.5 - found

   This installation of WordPerfect will expire in 90 days,
   unless you retrieve a free registration key from

         https://livewire.corel.com/wp8LinuxReg/

   to register your copy TODAY. Do this now!

   The installation default directory /usr/local/lib/corel must be
   accepted for installation to proceed correctly.  If the installation
   needs to be relocated, set PREFIX and restart the installation.

ln: remove.wp: File exists

  Please Wait .ELF binary type not known.  Use "brandelf" to brand it.
Abort trap


  Available Platforms:

  decalph
  hp9000
  linux
  ncr
  rs6000
  sco
  scodt
  sol86
  solaris
  sunos

  Enter Selection: linux     <== I enter linux here

 (tons of directories not found with this error:  
  
  ELF binary type not known.  Use "brandelf" to brand it.
Abort trap)

Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks

Neill
