Okay, first off my uname -a is:

FreeBSD prophecy.dyndns.org 5.0-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE-p4 #0:
Tue Mar 11 15:31:41 EST 2003    
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PROPHECY  i386

Some information on the dates of my ports tree:

% ll /usr/ports/math/PDL /usr/ports/INDEX*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  3194316 Feb  8 08:18 /usr/ports/INDEX
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  3326343 Feb  9 01:31 /usr/ports/INDEX-5
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  7236608 Mar 16 13:10 /usr/ports/INDEX.db

/usr/ports/math/PDL:
total 12
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  2453 Feb 20 13:42 Makefile
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    58 Sep 25 00:03 distinfo
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel   512 Mar 15 15:18 files
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   786 Aug 22  2000 pkg-descr
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    11 Sep 25 00:03 pkg-plist

I'm not really sure what else to provide. I'd attach `pkg_info`, but I'd
rather not attach 26 kilobytes of text without permission first.

One thing, though: did you attempt to build yours out of the ports tree?
I built mine by getting the distfile from a FreeBSD FTP site, untarring
it, and doing the standard make and such. If you showed me the errors
which you've received, I could look at the relevant information on my
system and perhaps devise a fix (or at least discern what allowed my
build to succeed).
