Okay, for clarity, I fixed my own problem at the time of my original post. I figured out the deficiency, corrected the #includes and have been up and running happily ever since.
As a community member, I was, (1) sharing to the community the error and my "answer," and (2) simply seeking advise from you fine folks who work more often with ports then I do, with whom --back upstream-- I might (or should) tell/advise/share -- just so they know (not to support me). I wasn't seeking to get unsupported support from the ports keeper or developers. Just wanted to advise --after all, it is a release_candidate and this is exactly the purpose of RCs.
Sorry
if my postings read differently then intended.
