Juan,

Thanks for the commit. I just ran portindex, and it chokes on these lines in the Portfile:

homepage http://www.caam.rice.edu/software/ARPACK master_sites ${homepage}/SRC/

with the following error message:

Failed to parse file math/arpack/Portfile: can't read "homepage": can't unset "PortInfo(homepage)": no such element in array

If I change it to the lines below, it works:

homepage http://www.caam.rice.edu/software/ARPACK master_sites http://www.caam.rice.edu/software/ARPACK/SRC/

I noticed this error and fixed it in a yet to come commit. My construct works, but a stray trailing \ in the long description was preventing the homepage declaration right underneath it from being registered, triggering the "no such element in array" error when the variable is referenced in master_sites. I deleted that \ and indexed the Portfile successfully. Thanks for the warning anyhow ;-) Regards,.... -jmpp
