devel/libcheck not installing properly

[Isaac Elbaz]

Hi,

Just a quick follow-up.

I was able to install gstreamer by specifically setting CONFIGURE_ARGS +=
--disable-check.
The current makefile has LIB_DEPENDS+= check.0:${PORTSDIR}/devel/libcheck,
yet it seems that the target port is not providing such.
