It seems the error is due to configure script concluding
there is no strncasecmp in the OS:

# cd /usr/ports/graphics/graphviz
# make configure > configure.out
# grep strncasecmp configure.out
checking for strncasecmp... no
#

But this function seems to be available:

# man strncasecmp| head
STRCASECMP(3)          FreeBSD Library Functions Manual          STRCASECMP(3)

NAME
     strcasecmp, strncasecmp -- compare strings, ignoring case

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <strings.h>
#


Where in the configure script is the check for strncasecmp done?


On i386 FBSD 7.0-stable all is fine:	checking for strncasecmp... yes

many thanks
