It's just not picking up that VDE exists on this machine. Any tips, Mark? :) -brian Not Mark here :) You need to force the makefile to look for /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include. If you check the makefile you'll find a series of checks based on $(OSTYPE). If I understand the logic, the last one checked refers to the BSDs. I'm not quite sure what happens here, but it seems like it uses the output of ldconfig to set up things for NetBSD, but does nothing for FreeBSD (other than spitting out a warning). What I would try is to duplicate these lines: ifeq (usrpkglib,$(shell if $(TEST) -d /usr/pkg/lib; then echo usrpkglib; fi)) LIBPATH += /usr/pkg/lib OS_LDFLAGS += -L/usr/pkg/lib -R/usr/pkg/lib endif As: ifeq (usrlocallib,$(shell if $(TEST) -d /usr/local/lib; then echo usrlocallib; fi)) LIBPATH += /usr/local/lib INCPATH += /usr/local/include OS_LDFLAGS += -L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib endif Eventually if this works Mark should put it in the distribution makefile.
