Well I tried to change some options in the makefile but no matter what I
try (--without-gnome-db; --without-gnomedb; --without-libgnomedb) it wants
to compile libgnomedb and it stops with the same error. I also tried a
"make install --without-gnome-db" etc. in the /usr/ports/math/gnumeric
directly, instead of portupgrading it. But that doesn't work either because
it says: make: illegal option -- -. Does this mean that only "--with" is
legal and "--without" is not?
