 Gary,
 
 It is a FreeBSD issue.  When things failed to compile on 10.0-RELEASE, I 
 reloaded the OS and did a base install without any modifications or 
 customization.  It also failed.
 
 When I wiped the slate clean again, but installed 9.2-RELEASE it 
 installed fine.  No difference, except OS versions.
 
 I spent two days troubleshooting this and replicating the issue across 
 several different scenarios before I submitted this.  If you would like 
 step by step directions on how to replicate the problem, I am happy to 
 provide them.
 
 To simply sweep this under the rug would be doing the community at large 
 a huge disservice.
 
 For what it's worth, I tried this on both a VPS and bare-metal server 
 environment.
 
 Again, ports are not the answer for a lot of people.  Please don't 
 band-aid this.
