Thanks for the pointers. I have to say though, this is really
ass-backwards. I have over 1200 packages installed on this desktop and
they all play nice in this particular respect but not this one. But
somehow this is the fault of pkg? No. IMOHO lang/rust should not be in
ports until it's made to behave like a port.

thanks,
