Hello all, I need help with installing a2ps. I think I am getting a fairly simple error. I am brand new to MacPorts and recently installed it just so that I could install a2ps. I did contact the maintainer of a2ps, mike@pentangle.net, but he is on vacation for three weeks. I believe I installed MacPorts correctly and believe I have successfully installed the aspell port but am getting the following error when trying to install a2ps: Error: Target org.macports.patch returned: error copying "/usr/share/libtool/config.guess": no such file or directory Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. I am not sure if this is the right user list for this. I did read as many things as I could find at MacPorts.org and did not find anything pertaining to this problem. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

This is "the Xcode 2.5 problem" again. Xcode 2.5 no longer provides / usr/share/libtool/. There are a handful of ports that made use of files in that directory. Those ports should all be fixed to depend on the libtool port instead and get the files from there. Some weeks ago I posted a list of all affected ports. I don't know if there's a ticket yet. I have Xcode 2.5 on a machine here so I can try to work on this if nobody else does first.
