Hi, For my system, there is missing install-info files:

Error: install-info --info- dir=/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_sysutils_groff/work/destroot/opt/local/share/info \ /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_sysutils_groff/work/destroot/opt/local/share/info/groff.info * Groff: (groff). The GNU troff document formatting system. install- info(/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_sysutils_groff/work/destroot/opt/local/share/info/groff.info): no backup file /var/backups/infodir.bak available. install- info(/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_sysutils_groff/work/destroot/opt/local/share/info/groff.info): no default file /usr/share/base-files/info.dir available, giving up. make[2]: *** [install_data] Error 1 make[2]: Target `do_install' not remade because of errors. make[1]: *** [doc] Error 2

I suspect its do do with snow leopard because the last time we saw the issue was back on macs with older Power PC architectures (also not having this directory).

The error is not specific to groff and it can break any ports which use the install-info make variable. For example readline might break also.

Possible solutions are discussed here:

Reinstalling Texinfo solved it for me: sudo port upgrade --force texinfo I was then able to successfully upgrade my installed gems. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22566#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
