Hi All, I'm running into a little problem building the latest version of postgis (1.3.1). Created the necessary portfile in my local repository, and ran portindex. The latest version in MP is 1.2.1 and requires a patchfile. The patch has not been rolled into the 1.3.1 version, so I left the directive in my local port file. After the attempting to "port install" it several times (and uninstall & cleaning), I decided to step through the install phases. The fetch, checksum, extract & patch stages went without a hitch. Below are the results of the next few stages: AFTER "sudo port -dt configure postgis" results in this: config.status: creating Makefile.config config.status: WARNING: Makefile.config.in seems to ignore the -- datarootdir setting config.status: creating config.h SUMMARY ------------------------------------------------------- HOST_OS: darwin8.10.0 PGSQL: /opt/local/lib/postgresql82/bin/pg_config GEOS: /opt/local/bin/geos-config (with C-API) (ldflags: -L/opt/local/lib) PROJ: prefix=/opt/local libdir=/opt/local/lib ICONV: 1 -liconv PORTNAME: darwin PREFIX: /opt/local EPREFIX: ${prefix} DOC: ${prefix}/share/doc DATA: /opt/local/share/postgis MAN: ${datarootdir}/man BIN: ${exec_prefix}/bin EXT: /opt/local/lib/postgresql82/ (/opt/local/lib/postgresql82/) ------------------------------------------------------- Warning: Target configure has an undeclared dependency on libiconv DEBUG: Target configure has no traceable dependency on proj AFTER "sudo port -dt build postgis" results in this: chmod +x postgis_restore.pl create_undef.pl postgis_proc_upgrade.pl profile_intersects.pl test_estimation.pl test_joinestimation.pl Warning: Target build has an undeclared dependency on openssl Warning: Target build has an undeclared dependency on perl5.8 Warning: Target build has an undeclared dependency on zlib apollo:~ jeff$ AFTER "sudo port -dt destroot postgis" results in this: DEBUG: Executing proc-post-org.macports.destroot-destroot-0 DEBUG: Target destroot has no traceable dependency on geos DEBUG: Target destroot has no traceable dependency on proj Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: error renaming "/opt/ local/var/macports/build/_Users_jeff_Ports_databases_postgis/work/ destroot/etc/default/postgis": no such file or directory Warning: the following items did not execute (for postgis): org.macports.destroot Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. apollo:~ jeff$ There seem to be a couple of undeclared dependencies and warnings through out the build process, but nothing to stop the install in it's tracks till the destroot stage. Being a relative nu-bee, I'll sure take any hints anyone has to offer. Thanks, Jeff
