Unable to compile regexxer in non-root mode

[Matthias Moeller]

Dear members of this mailinglist,

I have recently started to use macports in order to have some of my
'beloved' Unix applications on Mac OSX.

I have built it from source in non-root mode using these settings:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/MacPorts \
        --build=i686-apple-darwin10 \
        --enable-readline \
        --with-install-user=`id -un` \
        --with-install-group=`id -gn` \
        --with-macports-user=`id -un` \
        --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include \
        --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib \
        --with-tclpackage=$HOME/MacPorts/share/macports/Tcl \
        --with-no-root-privileges \
        --with-applications-dir=$HOME/MacPorts/Applications

My operating system is Mac OSX 1.6.2 on a Macbook Pro.

I have added +no_startupitem to ~/MacPorts/etc/macports/variants.conf
and set startupitem_type none in ~/MacPorts/etc/macports/macports.conf

Compilation works fine until it comes to policykit which fails to build.
Below is an excerpt from the output

$ port -d -v install regexxer
