Hi there,
Having problems installing xsane. I may be doing something stupid as I am new to macports, but can't work our what!
Welcome to MacPorts! Sorry you're having trouble; let's see what we can do.
I am getting the following error messages after a lengthy build process.....
john-gorsts-macbook-pro-15:~ john$ sudo port install xsane Error: The following dependencies failed to build: gettext ncurses ncursesw gawk gimp2 libexif libgnomeui gnome-keyring glib2 gtk2 atk gtk-doc scrollkeeper pango libgcrypt libgpg-error libbonoboui dbus xmlto getopt dbus-glib gconf orbit2 libidl gnome-vfs gnome-mime- data neon libbonobo popt libglade2 libgnome libgnomecanvas gail libgtkhtml libmng autoconf help2man p5-locale-gettext automake librsvg libcroco libgsf poppler py25-gtk py25-cairo py25-numeric python25 py25-gobject Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
Here is the debug log entry for one of the missing dependancies.
DEBUG: Requested variant darwin is not provided by port gnome-keyring. DEBUG: Requested variant i386 is not provided by port gnome-keyring. DEBUG: Requested variant macosx is not provided by port gnome-keyring.
Many thanks for any help!
You haven't shown us the relevant information. Which of the dependencies failed to build, and why? I suppose maybe it was gnome- keyring, but the DEBUG messages you showed us from gnome-keyring are normal status messages, not errors. (Not all ports provide the variants "darwin", "i386", "macosx", and so forth, but if those variants exist, MacPorts uses them. MacPorts is just telling you that gnome-keyring doesn't have these variants. It's not a problem.) Show us the actual error message you get when installing xsane. Or is it one of the existing tickets we have for gnome-keyring? http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/query? status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&summary=%7Egnome- keyring&order=priority
