Matt, Chris, First off, thanks for taking the time to reply :-) I am afraid however, that you have completely lost me. This is not the first time I have installed a port, and the reccommendation to use 'FORCE_PACKAGE_REGISTER" has been seen. Unfortunately, I have no idea what port you guys are suggesting is really broken, is it the OpenSSL_Overwrite_Base or the one I am trying to install? If it is the OpenSSL one, can you explain in simple terms how I should deal with it?
