hi,

I currently doing a project which need to use CLISP. I think gcl
should be a good choice for me. However, when I try to install the gcl
port under /usr/port/lang/gcl. I have an error saying:

% 
% pwd
/usr/ports/lang/gcl
% ls
CVS		files		pkg
Makefile	patches		scripts
% make install
===>  gcl-2.0 is marked as broken: Seems to depend on old version of tcl/tk.
% 


...

I have install Tcl7.6 and tk4.1

But I feel that the error message doesn't really tell me the reason
why it stopped (you will know what I mean when you read the Makefile).
And, if I do a 'make -d A', I find out the following statement in the
output:


#
# No unmade children
# unmade
install         : 
	@${IGNORECMD}

...

Because I am not quite sure how does the port work, but the above
statement doesn't seem correct for me.  The variable {IGNORECMD}
doesn't look very good, isn't it.  Is it suppose to do something
rather than just 'jgnore command' ?? 

!! Please help !! 

wt :-P
