Can you attach it? Since the output doesn't seem to help, I took a look at the autoconf macro that does the check: {{{ # make sure compile_et provides "et_foo" name cat >> conf$$e.et <<EOF error_table foo error_code ERR_FOO, "foo" end EOF AC_CACHE_CHECK(whether compile_et is useful,krb5_cv_compile_et_useful,[ if compile_et conf$$e.et >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then true ; else AC_MSG_ERROR(execution failed) fi AC_TRY_COMPILE([#include "conf$$e.h"],[&et_foo_error_table;],:,[AC_MSG_ERROR(cannot use et_foo_error_table)]) # Anything else we need to test for? rm -f conf$$e.c conf$$e.h krb5_cv_compile_et_useful=yes ]) }}} So it seems while compiling the file {{{ error_table foo error_code ERR_FOO, "foo" end }}} with compile_et as the MacPorts user it returns a non-zero exit code on your system. Can you try compiling this file using compile_et? What does `which awk` print on your system? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38214#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

I would have voted for adding the dependency on gawk

Why add an unnecessary dependency?

seeing as it's usually one of the first programs I install anyway ^(because doing so makes the `AC_PROG_AWK` autoconf macro that most configure scripts use find something quicker)^

A premature optimization, if I’ve ever seen one. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38214#comment:13> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
