Several errors building gnutls

Hello,

(Running MacBook Pro, with latest Leopard and MacPorts, and Xcode 3.0.)

I built gnutls yesterday, because I thought mutt might need it for  
smtp authentication (no such luck!).  In doing that, I got several  
errors and I'm not sure why.

The first was that libgcrypt couldn't find libgpg-error, even though  
port had just installed libgpg-error.  The solution was for me to add  
a configure argument to the Portfile:

--with-gpg-error-prefix=/opt/local

Then it worked.

I then had to tell opencdk where to find libgcrypt, even though it had  
just been installed!

--with-libgcrypt-prefix=/opt/local

And then I had to that same libgcrypt prefix argument to the gnutls  
configure args.


If I may ask, does this indicate that my MacPorts installation is  
flawed somehow, because these files weren't being found?

If not, should I submit bug reports for these?

Thanks for your time and help.

Brian
