>Description:
When installing tor via ports and selecting vidalia in the config make install bails out with an error as vidalia depends per default on tor and tor-devel.
If you remove tor-devel from the config of vidalia and repeat the make install in /usr/ports/security/tor the install part gets caught in an endless loop as tor checks for vidalia and vidalia checks for tor.

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/security/tor
make config
select vidalia
make install clean
-> first error (vidalia dependencies)
cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/vidalia
make config
remove tor-devel
cd /usr/ports/security/tor
make install clean
-> after build you'll encounter the endless loop

>Fix:
Don't select vidalia as build option for tor and build and install it after installing tor.
This is not a big problem but somewhat annoying. Maybe it should be mentioned somewhere.
