That's because print/pdflib has this statement in the port:
RESTRICTED= many odd restrictions on usage and distribution
which means packages for that port may not be available.
Two options I can suggest:
i) Install print/pdflib from ports -- everything else can come from
packages, but pdflib is just painful and the licensing forces you
to build from source.
ii) Install phpmyadmin from ports, changing the options to turn off
usage of pdflib. You won't be able to export stuff like DB schema
to PDF files, but the rest of phpmyadmin's functionality will be
there. Note: as phpmyadmin is pure PHP code, installing the port
is just a matter of copying the files into place: hardly any
difference to installing via package.
Why can't pdflib just use a standard opensource license that eveyone
knows how to deal with?
Cheers,
Matthew
