My system is set up just fine, thanks. My ports tree is located on a single
server, and shared via NFS.  To avoid hitting the rather slow disks in the
host machine, each client sets WRKDIRPREFIX so that ports build locally. 
This is fully supported by the ports system, and should not cause a
well-behaved port to break.[1] And indeed, this configuration has been
working flawlessly now for well over 6 years, and it is not the source of
the problem now.

This is what happens when I try to install qjail on the host where the ports
tree lives:

<root at catflap(1):/usr/ports/sysutils/qjail>
zsh/3 1001 # make install
===>  Installing for qjail-1.0
===>   Generating temporary packing list
===>  Checking if sysutils/qjail already installed
install: /usr/ports/sysutils/qjail/work/qjail-1.0/qjail-jail2: No such file
or directory
*** Error code 71

Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/qjail.

<root at catflap(1):/usr/ports/sysutils/qjail>
zsh/3 1007 # ls /usr/ports/sysutils/qjail/work/qjail-1.0/qjail-jail2
ls: /usr/ports/sysutils/qjail/work/qjail-1.0/qjail-jail2: No such file or
directory


The file isn't there.

Bah! Scratch that. Just ran make distclean && make install and it works.

My apologies, Joe, I should have tried that much sooner...  I can only
assume it happened because I installed the port by hand shortly after you
announced its release a few months ago, before it was formally accepted as
part of the tree. I guess I forgot to clean up after that manual test
install and grab the latest version from the ports.

To the originator of this thread - do give qjail a try - it's very good.
