I'm glad you were able to work around it that way, but as I said, it is not necessary. The correct fix is to autoreconf the affect port's configure script.

The openssl port has been updated to version 1.1. Many, many ports are not compatible with this version of openssl, and it looks like you've discovered that gq is one of them. Each such port will need to be individually investigated and fixed.


Josh has filed a ticket for both of these problems with gq, but the maintainer has not responded for 2 weeks, so if anyone else wants to help get it done, please do:
