I also noticed this stay symbolic link. I recently used script to capture the output of the rebuild of this port, and found this: gmake[4]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/graphics/graphviz/work/graphviz-2.20.3/tclpkg' mkdir -p ; usage: mkdir [-pv] [-m mode] directory_name ... gmake[4]: [install-data-hook] Error 64 (ignored) if test -w ; then \ (cd ; \ ln -s -f /usr/local/lib/graphviz/lua/libgv_lua.so gv.so;) \ else \ echo "Warning: is not writable."; \ echo "Skipping system installation of lua binding."; \ fi Without looking at the Makefile, it looks like the Makefile in tclpkg is trying to create a directory, but has an empty variable, this empty variable is then use with the cd command, which causes the cd command to change to the users home directory (i.e. /root).
