Well I have had 4 people contact who have the same problem. I suggest you
read the latest posting to ports which identifies a solution which actually
works.  Unfortunately Doug's solution does not work because it does not deal
with a number of causes of the errors enumerated in my RE: "Redland compile
error missing librdf  -SOLVED" posting. 

However you are right in one thing. An update to Soprano is not required to
fix the problem on freebsd although I understand it is necessary on some
other *ix systems.

However I am sure everyone appreciates your dedication to keeping soprano as
uptodate as possible.
