Not unless you say what you *are* typing.  Have you built it ?  I find that
I have to build the package from the port before doing a pkg_add on the
resulting package archive.  I don't really care, it didn't "make install"
so I tried "make package" then pkg_add and it works.  Is it supposed to
make install ?
