Thanks for your reply. PORTS_MODULES is a list of ports you wish to
rebuild every time the kernel is build (so it happened on 'make
kernel' BTW, not buildworld - my bad).

ruby has nothing to do with it, but it's needed by the
sysutils/fusefs-kmod port it seems. It may be a PATH-issue but I think
it should include /usr/local/bin then again, because I definitely
remember it to work (but that really was years ago). Otherwise that
option would be useless.

Thanks,
Frank
