[rt-users] problem building RT 3.6.5 on FreeBSD 7.0-PRERELEASE

Maybe I am trying to do something on the "cutting edge", but
I get the following error when I try to build the www/rt36
port on FreeBSD 7.0-PRERELEASE (this maybe something the
FreeBSD RT port maintainer should resolve - dunno):

Congratulations. RT has been installed. 


You must now configure RT by editing /usr/local/rt3/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm.

(You will definitely need to set RT's database password in 
/usr/local/rt3/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm before continuing. Not doing so could be 
very dangerous.  Note that you do not have to manually add a 
database user or set up a database for RT.  These actions will be 
taken care of in the next step.)

=====================================================================

To complete the installation of this port, please follow these steps:

1. Edit /usr/local/rt3/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm, by referring to
   the default config file (/usr/local/rt3/etc/RT_Config.pm).
2. Configure the email and web gateways.  Please refer to
   'SETTING UP THE MAIL GATEWAY' in /usr/local/rt3/README
3. Restart Apache.
4. Do remember to *CHANGE* the root's password for the web interface.
   The default is "password" (without the quotes.)
5. Configure RT per the instructions at
   http://www.bestpractical.com/rt/docs.html

===>   Registering installation for rt-3.6.5

Then I noticed the MySQL client was built, but not the server...

#pkg_info | grep -i mysql
mysql-client-5.0.51a Multithreaded SQL database (client)
p5-DBD-mysql-4.006  MySQL driver for the Perl5 Database Interface (DBI)

It seems odd to me that RT which depends on MySQL as the database
wouldn't treat the MySQL server as a dependency.  Am I missing something?

Regards,

web...
