Hello,

I just recently installed OpenBSD 5.1 on a old PowerMac G4. So far I'm really 
enjoying it. The install went smoothly, all is well.

What I would like to do is have a running copy of Metasploit on this box and 
I'm running into a problem. I know Metasploit exists as a OpenBSD port, when I 
go to the port under /security/metasploit and do a "make install", everything 
has installed thus far except for 'nasm'. I get the error: 

# make install
===> metasploit-3.5.0p0 depends on: ruby-iconv->=1.8,<1.9 -> 
ruby-iconv-1.8.7.357
===> metasploit-3.5.0p0 depends on: ruby-gems-* -> ruby-gems-1.8.10
===> metasploit-3.5.0p0 depends on: nasm-* - not found
===>  Verifying install for nasm-* in devel/nasm
===>  nasm-2.08.01   is only for i386 amd64, not powerpc (macppc) .

Ok, that's fine, there is no *compiled* version of nasm for ppc. So I obtained 
the source code for nasm and compiled it with no issues. Now as you see, I have 
nasm installed:

# nasm -version
NASM version 2.10.01 compiled on Jun 10 2012
# uname -prsv
OpenBSD 5.1 GENERIC#150 powerpc

And returning back to the Metasploit port tree I run 'make install' again only 
to get the same error indicating that nasm is not installed.

So... how do I inform OpenBSD that I have this installed version and where it 
is?

Any help is appreciated.


Thanks,
Andrew
