#15279: p5-svn-simple Configure error --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: jeremy.g.ross@gmail.com | Owner: dluke@macports.org Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: p5-svn-simple git-core Port: | --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment(by dluke@macports.org): Replying to [comment:9 orestis@…]:

Forgive me for my ignorance, but couldn't the portfile specify an explicit link to the /opt/local version of libraries, so that there would be no conflicts?

The compiler and linker search /usr/local specially (similar to a standard system directory), so it can cause problems. Sometimes individual ports can be patched to handle this, but often it's not possible (or not easy). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15279#comment:10> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
