Yes I know I'm slightly insane but not that insane - its a test box, NOT
a production box, and all I'm doing is teaching myself a little about
the FreeBSD system (something different to the linux I'm used to). I've
installed the exim 4.22 port without a hitch, but wanted to compile the
latest exim from scratch - I hit this error and wanted to know more,
that was all - nothing more nothing less so dont fret :).

Ta for the responses folks, I'll go tinker some more and see if I can
make it work.

Regards

Simon
