Typo on my part with regard to dash vs. underscore.  And it is not a  
directory!  Also, another commit was made after I tested the  
abovementioned 'workaround' and postes to this list, so maybe  
something different is now required.  In the worse case just manually  
roll back the port's Makefile to what it was before the last two  
commits.  It is not ideal or recommended but will do the trick if  
you're desperate to install.
