What's in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig? What's in /usr/local/bin?
I just moved /usr/local to /usr/local-off, cleaned and tried again, with exactly the same result.
Thank you for testing that. Could you attach the new main.log so I can compare it with mine?
For the record, it also doesn't make any sense that things in /usr/local would be causing an issue when macports' prefix is /opt/local.
It is nevertheless the case. Many projects hardcode /usr/local as a place to look for things; although we try to patch these out when we find them, we are unlikely to ever find all such occurrences. More importantly, /usr/local is a special directory: the compiler looks for things in it, even if we don't tell it to; we don't know of a way to tell the compiler not to do that, so the only thing we can do is tell people not to install things there. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/33421#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
