Why is your /opt inside /private? That should not be. Perhaps you installed the Cisco VPN client and it screwed up your MacPorts?
This used to be in the FAQ but was removed two months ago, apparently because Cisco fixed their VPN client. But maybe you used an older version.
Thanks again. I put /private/opt back in /opt, removed the Cisco vpn client (I no longer work there, so I don't need it), performed the rebuilding step to fix the libintl problem, and reran `port install gnucash`. The only thing that didn't go smoothly was that `port -duf uninstall foo` didn't remove the old unactivated versions of foo as suggested by http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/ProblemHotlist so I had to run a bunch of uninstall foo @version commands by hand. It didn't quite take all 15 hours I guessed originally... That's one bizarre bug. On Mon, Dec 11, 2006 at 20:33:04 -0800, Mark Duling wrote:
The Cisco client is up to 4.9.01 now and the bug was quashed some time ago.
Yes, but when one's company says "here's the vpn client package, and it's preloaded with a list of configurations for our various incoming vpn servers", it's easy just to install it and see that it works. Also, this was over a year ago, so it may have been the newest version at that point. Since the installer was what messed everything up, I don't expect that upgrading to a later version would have fixed it. -E
