>Description:
        When you try to compile audio/SDL_mixer and net/SDL_net, their 
        configure scripts get confused when a 'sed' is installed in
        LOCALBASE/bin.  This is evidenced by the error:

        -------------
        checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
        checking for sdl-config... /usr/pkg/bin/sdl-config
        checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.4... no
        *** Could not run SDL test program, checking why...
        *** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
        *** that the run-time linker is not finding SDL or finding the wrong
        *** version of SDL. If it is not finding SDL, you'll need to set your
        *** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to 
point
        *** to the installed location  Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if 
that
        *** is required on your system
        ***
        *** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, 
although
        *** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        configure: error: *** SDL version 1.2.4 not found!
        *** Error code 1

        Stop.
        -------------

        The value of ${PATH} at the start of the configure
        is fine (try putting an echo ${PATH} right at the top and observe
        its value).

        Put an echo ${PATH} right in front of this error message and you'll 
notice
        it has changed.  Now /usr/pkg/bin is in front of
        /usr/pkgsrc/net/SDL_net/work/.wrapper/bin

        This causes it to find the wrong version of sed (which is the one from 
9base on
        my system).  The one in .wrapper/bin is GNU sed.

>How-To-Repeat:

        * run 'make configure' in net/SDL_net
        * Watch it succeed
        * run 'make clean' in net/SDL_net
        * Install sysutils/9base
        * run 'make configure' in net/SDL_net again
        * Watch it fail

>Fix:
        Unfortunately, I haven't been able to pinpoint where exactly configure
        messes with ${PATH}, so I don't have a patch.

        A workaround is either to deinstall 9base temporarily while building
        the SDL packages, or to move 9base's sed out of the way:
        mv /usr/pkg/bin/sed /usr/pkg/bin/9sed
        <install packages>
        mv /usr/pkg/bin/9sed /usr/pkg/bin/sed
