Gimp errors with MacPorts 1.520

[starkos@…]

Trying to install Gimp on a clean MacPorts 1.52 installation. MacBook Pro running 10.4.10.

First error:

--->  Staging p5-pathtools into destroot
You must install or activate this package with '-f' (force) 
as it needs to overwrite files installed by the perl5.8 port

Worked around with sudo port -f activate p5-pathtools. Next error:

--->  Staging p5-getopt-long into destroot
You must install or activate this package with '-f' (force) 
as it needs to overwrite files installed by the perl5.8 port

Worked around with sudo port -f activate p5-getopt-long. And the final error, which I don't know how to work around:

--->  Configuring libgsf

Having exactly the same problems but with installing GnuCash instead of The Gimp. Was also able to work around the p5 issues but I'm stuck with the LIBGSF_GNOME part.

[daveh@…]

also same problem here ticket 12976 is more specific sudo port install libgsf fails

[elias@…]

I've had the same problem. FInally fixed it: the only requirement missing is libbonobo (which is difficult to see from standard-output logs, but if you look at config.log)

so before port install gimp, try port install libbonobo.

regards.
