Bob,

After grabbing a cvs update (nothing had changed since yesterday night) I tried to run the configure. The first attempt failed when creating libtool:

   checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes
   checking whether to build shared libraries... yes
   checking whether to build static libraries... yes
   configure: creating libtool
   ./configure: line 12232: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
   ./configure: line 12233: syntax error: unexpected end of file

The second attempt (no changes, just run configure again) succeeded. However, the make fails quickly in the port directory:

I really don't understand what is happening here. It seems that the make fails in a different place each time I run it. But it always complains about an unexpected end of file. ARGH!

Do you have any idea what's going on here?

Thanks,
