hi there,
please forgive my ignorance. today i have stumbled upon
the following error while trying to compile and install
a certain package, a deed i very rarely do:
Error: Libraries in packing-lists in the ports tree
and libraries from installed packages don't match
this is something a bit more recentish, because i remember
doing the same thing in the past and there was no such level
of strictness.
i think i understand the need to have exact library info
at compile time and enforce it like this, but i also always
looked at the ports infrastructure as a very nifty flexible
compiling aid -- is it really an "error" when i want to compile
for example a particular daemon and link it against my current
libraries in /usr/local/lib, libs that might lag a couple of
versions behind cvs but still perfectly fulfill their requirement?
is it possible to override this? is it totally undesirable?

light at end of tunnel will be out until further notice.
