Help2man is used by KDE , gimp and several others. Thanks for your help, Joe.

Downloaded from ​http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/help2man/. Make for standalone package, gives same error and I suspect there is a problem with help2man. Can help2man be dropped? See Changeset 26905.

Just worked around the issue. Took the (very) long way and upgraded to GCC 4.2. After changing the help2man makefile option CC to use GCC-MP-4.2 -it worked and I was able to activate the help2man port and get opter applications installed. I was previously using the Apple GCC 4.01.

Hope this helps, Joe.

I'm unable to reproduce this on either ppc Tiger or x86 Leopard. Marking worksforme, but feel free to reopen if you're still having this problem.

I'm getting the original error reported:

hacklocaledir.c:44: error: 'RTLD_NEXT' undeclared (first use in this function)

[gknauth (Geoffrey Knauth)]

I did this:

sudo mv /usr/local{,.off}

and then I was able to install help2man, so there must have been something in /usr/local that got in the way.

Duplicate #16127 shows that the file that was causing the problem was /usr/local/include/dlfcn.h.

iMac 10.6.4 attempting to install gimp - help2man has a failed shell command during configure. I believe that this is to do with a directory being called help2man-1.38.2 whereas port is expecting help2man_1.38.2. Changing the directory name does not, unfortunately help. I cannot therefore install gimp at all.

That's nothing to do with this ticket.
