Hi Rick,

I suspect this is permissions on your /tmp (which is sym linked to /home/tmp after a pkg upgrade)

This is because when you do the configure it should be doing tests for creating executables, etc, etc.
I'd doubt its because of the previous posts about ports/directory permissions, etc, as this should only be a problem when you either do make install, or when you try to run the daemon and it tries to bind to a privilaged port (lower that 1024)

Permissions on my tmp's are shown below just for comparison:
ls -la /
drwxrwxrwt   3 root     root         1024 Jul  1 11:58 tmp

ls -la /home
drwxrwxrwt   2 root     root         1024 Jul  1 04:54 tmp
