There is something about the way Gnome installs on FreeBSD which  
disagrees with the version of pan in CVS. The older bundled .tgz  
distributions build well under the FreeBSD ports system.

In FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE I don't get the error Bob gets. It breaks  
trying to find automake-1.4 when the installed version is named  
automake14. For some reason it chose 1.4 over 1.5 and 1.9 which are  
also installed. Created a symbolic link and got past that one.

Maybe to get that far ACLOCALS_FLAGS needed to be set.

After finding those 3 or 4 things I tired of the effort.
