In the case of Windows its not unusual for settings to be made in the registry
by installed programs with no 'easy way' to trace their location or the registry
values which were set.

This is not the case with FreeBSD.

The fact there were files in /usr/local/lib/asterisk/modules left over from
the first installation attempt is a design 'feature' of the Asterisk
build system
and not something related to the FreeBSD operating system or the Asterisk port.

When the Asterisk port is installed, there are not many places where
files are written so 'clearing cobwebs' can be fairly easilly done
when the 'webs
are known to be coming from the Asterisk port itself.

If you read the archives of this list, I think you will agree that in
most cases when
things don't seem to be working the way they should, the cause has been
traced to factors other than a defective port or a flaw in FreeBSD.

That's all true...but what else is also true was all I did was this:
   
  portsnap fetch ; portsnap extract
   
  cd /usr/ports/net/asterisk
  make deinstall
  make install clean
   
  Things went pretty much downhill from there. But thanks to everyone who offered advice. And I now have the latest version of FreeBSD-RELEASE on my system.
