I can't install gimp. When I try I get the following error

Code: 
===>   graphviz-2.28.0 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/linguist-qt4 - not found
===>    Verifying install for /usr/local/bin/linguist-qt4 in /usr/ports/devel/qt4-linguist
===>   qt4-linguist-4.7.3 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/designer-qt4 - not found

Hmm, something's not right there. Tell us your OS/platform, installed ports and if you have a up-to-date ports collection (if not, it might be a good idea to update it)

I just did
Code: 
[root@mainserver /usr/ports/graphics/gimp]# make build-depends-list
[root@mainserver /usr/ports/graphics/gimp]# make run-depends-list
/usr/ports/graphics/gimp-app
/usr/ports/print/gimp-gutenprint
/usr/ports/print/gutenprint
and I see no reason why you would need 500+ ports to get gimp running.
 
It's probably not 500 ports, which would be handled by the ports system anyway. More likely it's 500 recursions caused by an ill-advised setting. tonyvee1977, please show the contents of /etc/make.conf. What other system settings have been changed from their defaults?
 
I have not changed anything (knowingly)

Code: 
[root@bsd /home/tonyvee]# cat /etc/make.conf
# added by use.perl 2011-05-25 14:52:38
PERL_VERSION=5.12.3

Okay, good. Did you accept the default options for GIMP? If not, reset them to default:
# cd /usr/ports/graphics/gimp && make rmconfig && make config

then just press Enter. Try to build as normal.
 
I found someone who had the same problem and he did the following, and fixed the problem.

Code: 
cd /usr/ports/devel/doxygen 
make -DNOPORTDOCS install

I wish I were good enough to figure this out on my own. Thank you guys so much for your help. I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future.
