Description xenophon 2003-11-19 16:30:17 UTC 
Building the security/fwbuilder port fails when it attempts to run
"aclocal" as part of the configuration process.  The port's Makefile
lists aclocal (and the port devel/automake) as build dependencies, but
for whatever reason, the missing presence of both
/usr/local/bin/aclocal and the devel/automake port is not correctly
detected before the security/fwbuilder port is configured.  This
results in an error at configuration time that prevents the port from
being built.

I wonder if it is detecting the presence of other versions of automake
(devel/automake14 and devel/automake17 are both installed)?

Fix: 

The work-around is simple: Manually install the devel/automake port
before attempting to build and install security/fwbuilder.=20
How-To-Repeat: Check out the latest version of the ports tree, cd to
$PORTSDIR/security/fwbuilder, and run "make install".
