#38585: makejvf @1.1a runs into the Mountain Lion sed: illegal byte sequence issue --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: egall@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Keywords: mountainlion | Port: makejvf --------------------------+-------------------------------- I was trying to install makejvf to see if it would conflict with one of the texlive packages (because I had a sneaking suspicion it might), but it turns out I couldn't even install it due to Mountain Lion's `sed` having issues: {{{ ---> Configuring makejvf DEBUG: Using compiler 'Mac OS X clang' DEBUG: Executing org.macports.configure (makejvf) DEBUG: Executing reinplace: /usr/bin/sed s|__PREFIX__|/opt/local| < /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_tex_makejvf/makejvf/work/makejvf-1.1a/Makefile

@ file10 DEBUG: sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence while executing "exec /usr/bin/sed s|__PREFIX__|/opt/local| < /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_t..."
