in wgetrc (typically in /usr/local/etc/wgetrc), path to "wgetrc" is incorrect, such as "/usr/local/usr/local/etc/wgetrc". Fix: now doc/sample.wgetrc in distribution of wget original source code has "/usr/local/etc/wgetrc", no replacement by Makefile of wget port is required, as i think. How-To-Repeat: install ftp/wget from ports (wget-1.10).
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->sf Over to maintainer
State Changed From-To: open->closed port fixed, thanks. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/ftp/wget/Makefile.diff?r1=1.74&r2=1.75
