I should have specified that the port never properly built and installed itself. I got a few responses ran a make rmconfig.

Anyone know where it's > located at? > > thanks Hello, If the port uses the OPTIONS variable (in the Makefile) the configuration is at "/var/db/ports/", and you can change it with "make config", show it with "make showconfig" and remove it with "make rmconfig". If the port uses a shell script (ports that have a subdirectory called "scripts" with a file usually called "config"), it usually creates a file called "Makefile.inc" in the port directory, that is included by the port Makefile and it is removed when you do a "make clean".

Anyone know where it's > located at? /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk says that you can use `make showconfig' to see the current config, and `make rmconfig' to clear it. I haven't thus far tracked down where the config is stored...
