Problem in installing textproc/asciidoc

Hi,

Thank you.

That's a copy from the make install, don't ask me why there are two slashes.

Ditto, but there lies the problem, the sample configuration files get
installed in /usr/local/etc/asciidoc, but then the Makefile tries to
copy the .conf.sample file into .conf and at this stage, it searches
for the files in /usr/local/ETC.

I'll write to the maintener of the post.

Best regards,

Olivier
