That looks very odd. There shouldn't be any dependent relationship between ruby and tk. On your system, run 'port deps ruby' and send the list its output. Here's mind for reference: cremes$ port deps ruby ruby has library dependencies on: libiconv readline openssl zlib cr

The Ruby Portfile has been dependent on port:tcl and port:tk since it was updated for 1.8.5. Some of us disagree with that :)

Have a look at ticket #11006: <http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/11006>

And by the way: % port deps ruby ruby has library dependencies on: libiconv readline openssl zlib ncurses tcl tk

Hmmm... strange. Well, in the interest of getting Piero working, let's remove those dependencies. Piero, from your shell type 'port edit ruby'. This will open a copy of your locally stored portfile for ruby. Look for the line starting with "depends_lib" and change it to look like the following: depends_lib port:libiconv \ port:readline \ port:openssl \ port:zlib Save the file and try to do your install again. Hopefully it will work. cr

No. Please update your installation instead, with selfupdate or whatever. Ruby 1.8.5_2 doesn't have these dependencies.

Cool, thanks for committing the patch. -- Luc Heinrich - luc@honk-honk.com - http://www.honk-honk.com
