I ran across this problem when installing gems that compiled extensions, though. I know of no way to override this in the gem environment. So, my workaround is to edit rbconfig.rb and correct the CONFIG["INSTALL"] line. > BTW, do ports have to be built by root?

My practise is to do a 'make install' in the appropriate ports directory, as this will also take in all dependencies and install them. I haven't tried it using 'sudo', though. - Dimitri ------ art_15969_4152282.1159857426161--
