The port for slrn is years out of date, so I am building it from  
source. I wanted to build against the uudeview that was already  
installed. The port maintainer for slrn has not responded (I've been  
told) to emails about updating slrn in the ports tree.

I build slrn originally with

./configure  --with-ssl=/opt/local --with-slang=/opt/local

Which worked. However I realised later that this built it without  
uudeview, so I tried to rebuild it with:

./configure  --with-ssl=/opt/local --with-slang=/opt/local --with- 
uudeview=/opt/local

but that does not work
