>Description:
	graphviz fails to build... using pkgsrc -current as of: Tue Feb 27 12:45:09 PST 2007

build fails with: 

[...]

test -z "/usr/pkg/bin" || /usr/bin/install -d "/usr/pkg/bin"
  /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c -s -o root -g wheel -m 555 'dot' '/usr/pkg/bin/dot'

>How-To-Repeat:
	"make install" at pkgsrc/graphics/graphviz
>Fix:

running 'dot' from the failed-install yields:
bash-3.2$ dot
Error: /usr/pkg/lib/graphviz/config is zero sized, or other read error.
assertion "v" failed: file "input.c", line 317, function "dotneato_args_initialize"
Abort trap (core dumped)

There are notes I've found searching WWW about running "dot -c" or "dot -cv" as root to generate a config file. It _does_ create a new (but still empty) config file, and then dumps core.  Similar sounding issues from web search include graphviz bug 767 (http://www.graphviz.org/bugs/b767.html) and bug 838 (http://www.graphviz.org/bugs/b832.html)... don't know if these are relevant.
