Makefile for rpm-4.0.4_4

[RAW]

This question is about a FreeBSD port that I cannot automake.

Dear FreeBSDers;

Tried to obtain, make and install Port rpm-4.0.4_4, on my new FreeBSD 
6.0. Not there yet Looks like the Makefile program got down to 
"post-patch:", became unhappy, informed me with error code 127, (???) 
and quit.Make claimed that it could not find the shell script 
"configure" (see log below), but when I follow the path to the file, 
there it is. It left an "extract done.rpm-4" doc empty.

How can I get the makefile to continue, find "configure" and finish the 
make job?

P.S. I ran Make in a terminal window on my KDE desktop. Matters?

Thanks for the help.
