Port Problem

[Doug Hardie]

I seem to have done something to a port that is causing a problem. The
port is dspam and I first did a make on it. Up cam this nice
configuration option window (similar to sysinstall) where I select what
turns out to be incompatable options. However, that wasn't obvious at
the time. The patching and configuration completed successfully. All
the various required ports installed properly. However, the make of
dspam failed because of the incompatable options. The error message
made it all obvious. However, I can't find a way to go back to that
configuration option window to correct the problem.

Make just takes me back to the compile error. Removing the work
directory and the tar file results in a new download and then a silent
return to the same problem. Make clean does essentially the same
thing. The configuration options are being stored somewhere and I
suspect I need to delete them, but where?

run make rmconfig in the port's directory.
