Okay, that was the problem. However, I fail to see why. Why is there a difference between the "system" and "ports" 'ar' that causes this problem to exist? Obviously, since one does exist, it would seem only logical that the "port maintainer" would have hard coded which "ar" he/she wanted invoked. At some point it would seem advantageous to correct this problem permanently. Snce you were aware of this conflict, I can only assume that someone else knows about it too. I changed the system path because I use "openssl" from ports. I want to make sure that, that is the version used. Is there some way I can insure that the "ports" version of "openssl" is used without changing the "path" environment?
