hypermail port problem

[jerome schatten]

Thanks for your comments Brandon...

I think it's somewhat different than 'waiting for a mailbox file'. I'm 
very new to MacPorts, and had a bit of trouble figuring out what I was 
doing. But it's starting to sink in.

It occurs to me now that the binary that was generated needs to be 
returned to its original environment surrounded by all the support files 
that it needs to run.  I did not do that; I just executed the binary, 
period, and so it sat -- what else could it do?

So, I'll get back to this later today.

Are you the same Brandon Allerby that did the original early work on Jnos?
Best,
