: Would this do it?

: -   ${ERROR_MSG} "${_pkg_} is not installed; can't buildlink files."; \
: +   ${ERROR_MSG} "${BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.${_pkg_}} is not installed; can't 
buildlink files."; \

: That way it would say "ERROR: cairo>=1.6.4 is not installed; can't
: buildlink file", which at least leads the reader in the right
: direction.

: I think.

  While it does not fix the real problem (the buildlink information
should be taken from the installed pacakge, not the buildlink3.mk
file), it greatly improves the error message.  Please go ahead and
commit it.

: (Are there cases where BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.${_pkg_} contains more
: than the one clause, such the message would no longer be appropriate?)
