Problem installing FontForge

[alan.zapolskY@…]

Hello... I'm pretty new to both Mac and MacPorts but everything was going smoothly until I attempted to install fontforge. I really have no idea what this all means but here is error messages I received during the install.

Thanks in advance for any help with this problem!

The configure script seems to have no way of setting the libxml2 location, and always uses the one in /usr if present.

Replying to jmr@…:

Just reinplace the path to be ${prefix} instead?
