Indeed.  That could be one of the reasons they are considered "optional".

Though some optional packages are very good.  Do you have a list of
which ones you installed?  Some would probably be pretty easy to rule
out, and this should be documented in that test or fixed.


Here is the list. Those that were not installed all had errors of one kind or another. Some of them don't need to be installed, as they are available as ports in FreeBSD. The only ones I thought should be installable which were not were ace-5.0.p0, libcocoa-0.9930, and phc-2.3.53.p0. fricas, graphviz, libogg, libtheora, openmpi, openssl and valgrind are all ports on FreeBSD, and presumably the sage packages don't have any extra hooks to sage (do they?). fricasaldor should probably be made into a separate port for FreeBSD (if there is any demand). mpi4py should build after the FreeBSD openmpi port is installed, but the mpi4py package is not looking for the include and library files in the right places - I haven't looked into this yet.

Also some of the tests "fail" (i.e. response is not as expected, although the correct answer is given) because some tests report that the gmpy version is too old.
