The texlive port has been reported to compile on leopard. Could I have more info about your configuration? Could you look into the Makefile in the faulty directory to understand where this 1/lib comes from?

[josh-macports@…]

There's not a lot to add about my setup. Leopard + XCode 3 on x86, and a bunch of stuff installed via MacPorts.

"1/lib" shows up in 3 places:

config.cache:345:xdvi_cv_motif_libdir=${xdvi_cv_motif_libdir='/usr/X11R6 1/lib'}
texk/xdvik/config.status:79:s%@X_LIBS@%-L/usr/X11R6 1/lib  -L/usr/X11/lib%g
texk/xdvik/Makefile:213:x_ldflags=-L/usr/X11R6 1/lib  -L/usr/X11/lib

[milosh@…]

You have a "/usr/X11R6 1/" directory? The space is the reason for the failure. I think the best would be to get rid of (or at least rename without any spaces) this directory as it is bound to cause problems for other things: many configure scripts are not robust again spaces in paths.

[josh-macports@…]

Ack, you're right. Looks an installer renamed an older version of the directory at some point. I wonder why it decided to use "/usr/X11R6 1" instead of "/usr/X11R6"? Turns out I also had "/usr/lib/ruby 1" which caused another build problem. I wonder what other things I have renamed copies of. :-/

Anyway, with those taken care of it builds OK.
