Now I've been busy, selecting port options to include in
/usr/local/etc/synth/LiveSystem-make.conf
but when I run "synth status gnumeric", I get
Configuration invalid: [D] Port options directory: /var/db/ports
so without a directory like /var/db/ports showing options derived from the
ports dia

On the other computer (motherboard MSI Z77 MPOWER), synth doesn't work well,
can't build packages, crashes the system most of the time.
