Hi all, I encountered the following error while trying to install source-highlight package using port. Googling turned up the link http://www.nabble.com/Problem-compiling-source-highlight-on-Mac-OS-10.4.2-t3... but I am unsure how to use that particular recommendation alongside port. Kindly help me. Thanks, Binil binil-thomas-ibook-g4:~ binil$ port installed The following ports are currently installed: boost @1.34.0_0 (active) boost-jam @3.1.13_0 (active) expat @2.0.1_0 links @2.1pre26_0 (active) tree @1.5.0_0 (active) binil-thomas-ibook-g4:~ binil binil-thomas-ibook-g4:~ binil$ port info source-highlight source-highlight 2.7, textproc/source-highlight (Variants: universal) http://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite/ This program, given a source file, produces a document with syntax highlighting.
