Re: What might cause a difference in building using the ports system vs trying to build manually?

Yes, you'd just need to figure out what's different about the commands and
environment used to build it and apply that to a build outside of the ports
framework. Maybe you'll get some clues from "make -n do-build" after "make
configure". We're really just dealing with ports on this list though.
