This is not unique to pkgconfig; I get the same error when I try to install libtool (e.g.) {{{ 03.31PM:sudo port install -d libtool Password: ---> Computing dependencies for libtool ---> Dependencies to be installed: automake autoconf help2man gettext expat libiconv gperf ncurses ncursesw p5-locale-gettext perl5 perl5.8 m4 ---> Fetching expat ---> Attempting to fetch expat-2.0.1.tar.gz from http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/expat ---> Verifying checksum(s) for expat ---> Extracting expat ---> Configuring expat alloc: invalid block: 0x200088: 0 0 0 Abort trap }}} Crash report from this run is attached as well. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26245> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
