Trouble with ports

[Jamie]

   Hmmm...I am a bit of a newcomer to FreeBSD. I'd like to try installing
these libs. Can you point me in the right direction for info on this? I am
having a difficult time finding info in the handbook.

   Are there specific libraries I need to install?


   Thanks very much.
