vsftpd on FreeBSD 9.2 -- make install fails with pw: no such user 'ftp'.

P.S. APACHE 2.4 installed / compiled just fine. So did PROFTPD, but not VSFTPD.
 
I've issued 'vipw' and from within the file (which contains a list of users), I've deleted the line that started with ftp. Afterwards VSFTPD installed successfully.
