Problem installing libcompat

[Boey Maun Suang]

Hi Gary,

I got exactly the same build errors as you did.  I've made a small  
change to the syntax of the libcompat Portfile [1], and that seems to  
have fixed it.  I don't understand why the original syntax worked in  
the first place, or why it generated the error that it did, but the  
new syntax is definitely correct.  Please give it a try after a  
selfupdate and let me know if it now works for you.

Kind regards,


Maun Suang
