hi lasse,

same here (macppc on G4), and AFAIR i had/have the same problem on 
sparc64.

however, as a quick'n'dirty workaround i fetched the binary packages 
(although it's still 5.8.1nb_something) and installed it via pkg_add -- 
at least this resolves my dependencies.

as soon as i have time for it, i'll try to fix that (NB: i'm not the 
maintainer ;).

ps: have some weird messages & failing in graphics/tiff -- did you run 
into this too (no err messages handy, sorry)?

-- 
mit vorzueglichster Hochachtung/best regards,
