Ok, I reverted to the original Apple sed. That helped, but the install failed again. Here are the last few lines of the log: ------------ ... /usr/bin/ld: multiple definitions of symbol _g_malloc0 /opt/local/lib/libglib-2.0.dylib(gmem.o) definition of _g_malloc0 ../../libseahorse/libseahorse.a(seahorse-secure-memory.o) definition of _g_malloc0 in section (__TEXT,__text) /usr/bin/ld: multiple definitions of symbol _g_realloc /opt/local/lib/libglib-2.0.dylib(gmem.o) definition of _g_realloc ../../libseahorse/libseahorse.a(seahorse-secure-memory.o) definition of _g_realloc in section (__TEXT,__text) collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [seahorse-preferences] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 Error: The following dependencies failed to build: gnome-desktop- suite seahorse system-tools-backends vino gnutls libgcrypt libtasn1 lzo opencdk yelp firefox-x11 zip libgtkhtml zenity Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. ------------ On 23.09.2007, at 20:10, Anders F Björklund wrote:

I tried to install gnome using macports on my G4-PowerBook running Mac OS X 10.4, but I was not successful (the result is attached below). I sent an email to bonzini@gnu.org (as indicated in the error log), who replied (i) that he is only responsible for gnu sed, not macports and (ii) that macports invokes sed the wrong way. Can anyone help or shed some light on this problem?
Error: reinplace: sed: invalid option -- E
Please don't install GNU sed as "sed" for now (naming it gsed is OK, like the gsed port does). This will be fixed in next version of MacPorts, that should be able to cope with BSD/GNU sed.
