Help: Cannot install pear-DB

[Viren Patel]

I am trying to install pear-DB port on a 4.10 system. Here are the
messages from portinstall:

I do not understand why it is failing as it seems to find all the
pre-requisites. There does not seem to be a 'PEAR' package in the
ports collection. How do I specify its version? Your help is
appreciated. Thanks.
