hi.  i'm using:

FreeBSD gregtx 6.1-STABLE FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #2: Tue Oct 31 09:50:20 PST 2006

(from a year or so ago), and loaded xulrunner from its ports.

it fails (limps along).  a simple test case is "xulrunner --register-user", 
which has errors invoking expr(1).

i just pulled down the latest version of the port.  i notice a fair number of 
compiler warnings during the build process.  (but, i don't know if this 
happens on a linux system as well, as i don't run linux, so i don't know if 
those warnings are to be expected.)

finally, i did "sudo make install" on what was built from the current port, 
which failed:
----

in/xulrunner: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/home/minshall/src/import/xulrunner/freebsd-port/xulrunner.

any thoughts?  is anyone porting 1.8.1.3 (which sadly doesn't have a source 
tar file on mozdev.org)?
