selfupdate does a sync, so this could be reduced to: port selfupdate; port install gnucash
so I moved it over, convinced archive to rerun with some difficulty*, and all was happy. I have no idea why it was building the libraries in ~destroot/private/opt/..., since it built everything else in ~destroot/opt/..., but there it was.
This seems odd, but I'm not sure from your description exactly what happened.
*: if I run port with -f, I expect the step to run, regardless of what the state file says; I don't expect to have to edit the state file by hand.
You shouldn't have to, but you don't say what you ran (and what happened), why you decided to modify the state file, and what happened after you did.
`port clean --archive qt3` didn't even have the desired effect, though it printed a message that claimed to have done so. WTF?
So, it didn't remove the qt3 archive?
In fact, it couldn't find /opt/local/lib/libintl.3.dynlib because it didn't exist, so I suppose my frustration should be more focused on gettext than on aqbanking.
It's because you told macports to upgrade everything, without understanding what that meant (and without macports just 'doing the right thing' for you here).
That might have been fine, except the script assumed that `port provides /path/to/foo` works correctly...nope:
Ok, at this point I'm sure that there is something wrong with your macports install.
If anyone can tell me something simple like "your darwinports install is completely messed up; run these five commands and wait 15 hours for everything to recompile", I'd be thrilled.
If you don't mind re-installing any installed ports, you could do something like rm -Rf /opt/local Then download and install macports and do: port selfupdate and then try again with port install gnucash -- Daniel J.
