MacPro, Leopard, latest version of MacPorts (downloaded yesterday) and I'd say latest Xcode as well...

Hi Stefan,

do you really want XFree86? I guess, you don't. XFree86 is often only chosen because a more recent version of X11 is not available.

Try to get the latest X11 from http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz You install this on top the existing Leopard-X11 and the X11-SDK from the Leopard Install DVD.

Clean everything up in MacPorts and try to compile again. If the "right" X11 is availble, MacPorts won't bother with XFree86. At least this is the case, when I install Scribus: Scribus nominally also depends on XFree86, but if a fresher X11 is around, it goes with this instead.

Thanks for the hints. But it seems that GD2 needs XFree86. At least, after having followed your instructions, it still looks for XFree86... Any idea why this would be? Or why it doesn't succeed to compile properly? Thanks for any hints! ________________________________________________________________________________________________ gridmac7:mapserver-5.0.2 schwarzer$ sudo port install gd2 ---> Building XFree86 with target World Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/ local/var/macports/build/ _opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync .macports.org_release_ports_x11_XFree86/work/xc" && make World " returned error 2 Command output: including in lib/dps... checking ../../config/pswrap/pswrap over in ../../config/pswrap first... /usr/bin/cc -Os -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wpointer-arith -no-cpp- precomp -I. -I../../exports/include "-I/opt/local/var/macports/ build/ _opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync .macports.org_release_ports_x11_XFree86/work/include" -D__i386__ - D__DARWIN__ -DNO_ALLOCA - DCSRG_BASED -DXENVIRONMENT -c -o main.o main.c yacc -d pswparser.y conflicts: 1 shift/reduce mv -f y.tab.c pswparser.c + mv -f y.tab.h pswparser.h /usr/bin/cc -Os -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wpointer-arith -no-cpp- precomp -I. -I../../exports/include "-I/opt/local/var/macports/ build/ _opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync .macports.org_release_ports_x11_XFree86/work/include" -D__i386__ - D__DARWIN__ -DNO_ALLOCA - DCSRG_BASED -DXENVIRONMENT -c -o pswparser.o pswparser.c flex -l lexer.l lexer.l:108: bad character: % lexer.l:108: unknown error processing section 1 lexer.l:108: unknown error processing section 1 lexer.l:108: bad character: 3 lexer.l:108: bad character: 5 lexer.l:108: bad character: 0 lexer.l:108: bad character: 0 lexer.l:109: bad character: % lexer.l:109: unknown error processing section 1 lexer.l:109: bad character: 2 lexer.l:109: bad character: 5 lexer.l:109: bad character: 0 lexer.l:109: bad character: 0 make[4]: *** [lexer.c] Error 1 okay, continuing in lib/dps ../../config/pswrap/pswrap -a -o dpsclrops.c -h dpsclrops.h dpsclrops.psw make[3]: ../../config/pswrap/pswrap: Command not found make[3]: *** [dpsclrops.c] Error 127 make[2]: *** [includes] Error 1 make[1]: *** [includes] Error 1 make: *** [World] Error 2 Error: The following dependencies failed to build: XFree86 fontconfig Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. ________________________________________________________________________________________________
