     Never mind. :-)
     I did play with the security/tor-devel port, but didn't install it.
Looking at the output, I noticed that the link edit of tor had a
"-rpath=/usr/local/lib" on the gcc command that I didn't have in mine.
Adding 'LDFLAGS="-rpath-/usr/local/lib"' to the ./configure took care of the
problem.  0.2.2.6-alpha is running properly now. :-)
     Thanks, Hans, for the clues that were indeed in your message.  I just
was a bit slow on the uptake.
