xemacs (and xfig) fail with "Error: Unresolved inheritance operation" errors

[DaveStrickland (Dave Strickland)]

Fresh installs of xemacs and xfig on OSX 10.5.6, native X11, with ports 1.7.1 run OK, but attempts to run either program from either a Terminal, iTerm or xterm (with or without X11 having been started) all fail with

Error: Unresolved inheritance operation

Possibly related to the 1.7.0 Ticket #19013 and Ticket #18815.

Hi. Just to let you know: I am seeing the same error message "Error: Unresolved inheritance operation" when invoking gv, which I just installed. I guess this is the same issue?

[aeevr@…]

I also get the same error message with both xemacs and gv. So disappointed with Leopard.

[aeevr@…]

Well, I've got xemacs and gv running now. This is what I did (although I really have no idea which of these things did the trick):

1) Completely uninstalled MacPorts.

2) Made sure I had the latest versions of Xcode (3.1.2) and X11 (2.3.2.1)

3) Made sure X11 was running before I installed everything.

4) Installed, in this order: coreutils +with_default_names, texlive, gv, xemacs, ispell

Replying to aeevr@…:

Sadly that does NOT work for me. I installed X11 2.3.2.1, wiped macports 1.7.1, rebooted, reinstalled macports 1.7.1, started X11 and then installed coreutils +with_default_names and then xemacs, and I still get Error: Unresolved inferitance operation. Installing gv results in the same problem.

I'm feeling incredibly frustrated.

It would be nice if the maintainers at least told us whether they can reproduce this bug on their systems or not.
