There is a typo, but it's to do with the -name predicate. -name needs
an argument -- but as the quoted script seems to be trying to scan for
the libraries linked to be everything in ${PREFIX}/bin and
${PREFIX}/lib you don't need to filter by name at all.  Just use:

find /usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib -type f | \

'-type f' says 'only regular files, not directories or sym-links'

Note that using grep(1) to work out what a binary links to is
exceedingly bizarre.  ldd(1) is the correct tool for that job.

In any case, there are better solutions to this problem: try using the
sysutils/libchk port.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
