You can do {{{ sudo port selfupdate }}} to get the modified port in about an hour or just go ahead and install port py26-libxml2 Thanks for the report -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26919#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

But this didn't help: The-Evil-MacBook:~ ivucica$ sudo port install py26-libxml2 ---> Computing dependencies for py26-libxml2 ---> Cleaning py26-libxml2 The-Evil-MacBook:~ ivucica$ sudo port install gnome-doc-utils---> Computing dependencies for gnome-doc-utils ---> Building gnome-doc-utils Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed Log for gnome-doc-utils is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports .org_release_ports_gnome_gnome-doc-utils/main.log Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets> Even after trying to switch back to Python2.6 from MacPorts (I had a need to switch back to Apple's Python in the past): The-Evil-MacBook:~ ivucica$ sudo python_select python26 What did seem to help was reactivating Python and reinstalling py26-libxml2: The-Evil-MacBook:~ ivucica$ sudo port activate python26 @2.6.5_1+darwin ... The-Evil-MacBook:~ ivucica$ sudo port uninstall py26-libxml2 ; sudo port install py26-libxml2 ... Hope this helps someone. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26919#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

#26919: gnome-doc-utils installation fails ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: ivan@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: gnome-doc-utils | ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Comment(by ivan@…): Indeed; I don't think MacPorts is to blame here (although apparently I did raise a valid point about the library not being a build requirement -- or did I?). I had a very... particular situation. I had Python.org's Python2.5 for business needs, Apple's Python2.6 since it ships with MacOSX, and I wanted to install MacPorts software that was either a Python library, or depended on Python. I did some joggling with Python versions and that's what probably made the thing problematic. Bugs should probably be filed with Python 2.x packages on MacPorts, to make switching easy not just to Apple's Python, but also to Python.org's Python. The latter is needed since only that way one can build a binary for-distribution with py2app and ship Python at the same time. And shipping Python is needed since end users (casual gamers in this case) must never know that we're shipping Python, and numerous modules built for it (various Python-Ogre modules). All that publishers accept and all that players accept (that is, all that end users accept) is a single .app bundle that launches the game immediately upon double-clicking. Hence the need to have Python.org version of Python on one's machine. Hence the motivation to improve python_select to allow switching to other Python releases as well. These non-system releases are stored in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and these do a bit of redirection themselves. However, I'm way off-topic here. All I tried to say is that I don't believe either myself nor MacPorts being at fault here. python_select might be improved, but that's not sufficiently relevant to this bug to require more discussion on my part. (PS Shame on me for not previewing my previous comment and therefore breaking all the text that should have been monospaced.) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26919#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
