id3lib 3.8.3 Snow Leopard compile error

[paul.hargreaves@…]

Upgraded my system from Leopard to Snow Leopard. Macports broke so I downloaded the latest 1.8 dmg and installed. Ran a selfupdate, then an upgrade outdated. Most packages went fine but id3lib failed. Here is the log.

you didn't read Migration

[paul.hargreaves@…]

Sure I did. But since I was running a prior version successfully on Leopard, upgraded to SL, then found that port didn't work at all... it was unlikely I'd be able to perform the instructions in migration since every port command failed.

Potentially the instructions in either the snowleopard section or the migration section should address how to get from broken to working again?

"you will first need to install the base MacPorts system again, either from the appropriate disk image or from source" seems pretty clear to me...
