I have run into difficulties in instaling fox (goal is to install freeride). I have MacPorts/Darwinports 1.320 installed. When I try to install fox I get:

When I check the fox ftp site (http://www.fox-toolkit.org/ftp/) I note that fox 1.2.13 is not listed (1.2.18 is though). Does this mean that if the porfile were to be updated to require 1.2.18 that all would work (I suspect that there are only minor bugfixes between the 2 versions) unless 1.2.13 was a typo and 1.2.18 was the version intended all along.
I have tried posting to bugreports and emailing the maintainer but haven't had much success yet. Any advice as to what I can/should do woud be much appreciated.
I'm pretty sure the maintainer for fox is around anymore, so I updated it to 1.2.13. For fun I tried 1.7.7 but it failed to build. After rsync catches up a selfupdate will show 1.2.13. Mark
