#36482: libglade2 @2.1.2 Error: org.macports.build for port libglade2 returned: command execution failed --------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: antoine.gautier@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): Ok, that confirms that you don't have the cairo or pango ports installed. (They're required by libglade2.) Yet for some reason some versions of the files the cairo and pango ports would install are present on your system, which fooled MacPorts into believing the ports were already installed. But those files appear to be at least 11 months old and to predate the fix for the problem you're seeing. The solution is to install the cairo and pango ports. Because the files those ports would install are already on your system for some reason, you'll need to force the installation: {{{ sudo port -f install cairo pango }}} But I am a little worried, because this problem should never have happened in the first place. And if you had rogue copies of the cairo and pango files on your system, I am concerned that you might have other rogue files from other ports that will cause you problems in the future. Since you said you just installed MacPorts, perhaps the best solution would be to follow the [http://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.uninstalling MacPorts uninstallation instructions], including the `sudo rm -rf` command, to ensure that all traces of MacPorts, including files that should not be there, are removed. Then you could reinstall MacPorts, and the ports you want, knowing that you won't have any files that shouldn't be there. It would probably be less inconvenient to do this now rather than wait until later when you have more ports installed. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36482#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
