Hello,

I'm the maintainer of the shoutcast port. As you probably know, it's a 
binary port, since shoutcast is a closed-source application, so the port 
do just some simple tasks: patching config file, creating a user for 
shoutcast and installing the binary and the rcNG script. I think, the 
problem is with the binary, not with the port, so I can't fix it. Signal 
11 means segmentation violation. Anyway, can you try to install it 
manually and check if it runs, please? All you have to do is to download 
from the shoutcast website, extract and run with the default configuration.
If it fails, too, you might want to report it to the shoutcast team. If 
it works, please write back to me, attach your config file and include 
the output of "uname -a", so that I can llok at this problem.

Thanks,
