Hi,

For the archive (google). I that I discoverd the problem with the help
of Andrey Simonenko. The problem with the port seed to be that you can
not do stuff like 'CFLAGS+= -DWITH_MMAP' when going the gnu way with
your port. This causes the strange error messages. Removing this will
allow the configure script to be called correctly.
