[Dheeraj Chand]

Hi, all,

I'm not that great with BSD, but I'm running into this error trying to install from the ports tree. Anyone willing to help?

Please report the problem to anderson at cnpm.embrapa.br [maintainer] and attach
the "/usr/ports/databases/postgis/work/postgis-1.5.3/config.log" including
the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea
to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls
/var/db/pkg`).
