I want to install popt (dependency of gnome) but I have some problems. I must tell you this is a mess in the files: because it did not run, I went to the temporary directory that macport created ( "/opt/local/var/macports/build/ _opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel _popt/work/popt-1.11) and I modified some files; I also deleted then restored some files in /opt/local/lib. All this without success, other than change the error message.

Here is the last; when I enter "sudo port install popt", I have:

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

The top of the message is the building of the source, so consequently I deduce the configuration was a success 8-) . My method to compile the stuff is I try "port install popt", I see that some files are missing (why?),I copy these files in the temporary directory, and I try another time. But now I'm lost: the error message talk of ".libs", and I don't see where it can be...

Doesn't anybody know a way to solve the problem?

I don't see the problem on my system, therefore it's hard to know how to fix it on yours. What did you do to get past the configure stage, at which you were stuck originally?

well, I copied some files (like config.sub), and each time I retry, each time I felt on another file which doesn't exist. but now it is no more possible... I'm stuck.

Ok, now we may be getting somewhere. From where to where did you copy config.sub? I see that the portfile contains these lines: platform darwin { post-patch { file copy -force /usr/share/libtool/config.guess ${worksrcpath}/ config.guess file copy -force /usr/share/libtool/config.sub ${worksrcpath}/ config.sub } } So it should be copying config.sub and config.guess from the OS into the port's work directory. These files do exist in the OS for me: $ l /usr/share/libtool/config.* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 41362 Sep 12 2006 /usr/share/libtool/ config.guess -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 29973 Sep 12 2006 /usr/share/libtool/ config.sub $ Do they exist for you?

To completely answer to your question, I must add that I copied the files from the directory where I untar-ed the sources to the temporary directory of Macports. lolveley.

I remind you the error message: ---> Building popt with target all Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_popt/work/popt-1.11" && make all " returned error 2 Command output: make all-recursive Making all in po make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. /bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -Wall -O2 -no-undefined -L/opt/local/lib -lintl -L/opt/local/lib -liconv -lc -R/opt/local/lib -Wl,-framework -Wl,CoreFoundation -L/opt/local/lib -o libpopt.la -rpath /opt/local/lib popt.lo findme.lo poptparse.lo poptconfig.lo popthelp.lo poptint.lo gcc -dynamiclib -o .libs/libpopt.0.0.0.dylib .libs/popt.o .libs/findme.o .libs/poptparse.o .libs/poptconfig.o .libs/popthelp.o .libs/poptint.o -L/opt/local/lib /opt/local/lib/libintl.dylib /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib -lc -Wl,-framework -Wl,CoreFoundation -install_name /opt/local/lib/libpopt.0.dylib -Wl,-compatibility_version -Wl,1 -Wl,-current_version -Wl,1.0 i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: .libs/popt.o: No such file or directory i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: .libs/findme.o: No such file or directory i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: .libs/poptparse.o: No such file or directory i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: .libs/poptconfig.o: No such file or directory i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: .libs/popthelp.o: No such file or directory i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: .libs/poptint.o: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [libpopt.la] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. ...that I have when I try to install popt-1.11 with macport. if so could launch a search with spotlight to tell me where is popt.o,and/or the libs directory (after having installed popt), it would be fine. thank you, lolveley. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
