FreeBSD Port: phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.3

[fbsd]

I did this as per your post

Run pkg_delete php5-5.1.2_1 and then reinstall it from the lang/php5
port, but make sure you make config first to add in the Apache
module.

# /usr/ports/lang/php5 >make install clean
===>  php5-5.1.4 is marked as broken: Unknown AUTOCONF version: 259.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/lang/php5.
# /usr/ports/lang/php5 >

What now???

How is a normal port user suppose to know to do make config  to set
options first?
This should just pop up in persons face on make install.

Its like someone when out of their way to make this harder to use on
purpose.
What were they thinking????

I suggest you read the error message (underlined below).

Check /usr/ports/UPDATING, which tells you that PHP5 no longer
installs
the Apache module by default.

The error is because you are missing part of PHP, not because there
is a
problem with the phpMyAdmin port.

Run pkg_delete php5-5.1.2_1 and then reinstall it from the lang/php5
port, but make sure you make config first to add in the Apache
module.
