There are a few exceptions, but as you may know, as a rule, MacPorts deliberately does not make use of software you have installed manually. The FAQ explains: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/ FAQ#WhyisMacPortsusingitsownlibraries
but the installation of gnome aborts with the message:
---> Configuring popt Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/ _opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel _popt/work/popt-1.11" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --mandir=/ opt/local/share/man --with-libintl-prefix=/opt/local --with- libiconv-prefix=/opt/local " returned error 1 Command output: configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub
and I have the same message when I try to install popt directly with macports.
Have you got an idea (cleaning...) to solve my problem?
I didn't get any error installing popt 1.11_1 just now. Could you please clean the work directory with "sudo port clean --work popt" and then show us the output of "sudo port -dv install popt"? Thanks.
