xorg-libX11 make: nothing to be done for 'all' on Snow Leopard

[niels_seidel@…]

I don't get xorg-libX11 build on Snow Leopard. Neither as clean build nor by recompiling all dependencies.

Any idea what the reason could be?

This has nothing to do with xorg-libX11. You seem to have deactivated cairo which is needed by ghostscript

[niels_seidel@…]

Thank you for your reply but I am neither able to activate cairo nor to reinstall it because of its dependency on xorg-libX11. Its like a dead lock.

$ sudo port activate cairo ---> Activating cairo Error: port activate failed: Image error: Source file /opt/local/var/macports/software/cairo/1.8.4_1+macosx/opt/local/lib/libcairo.2.dylib does not appear to exist (cannot lstat it). Unable to activate port cairo.

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Well, then you should also deactivate ghostscript to prevent X11 from using it to build your pdf.

[niels_seidel@…]

I tried that but the dead lock is still there. After wasting too much time with all that stuff I decided to uninstall all my ports:

$ sudo port uninstall installed

Then I started my reinstallation with:

$ sudo port install gsed

So far everything worked fine for me but then I wanted to install xorg-libX11:

$ sudo port install xorg-libX11

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Again a dead lock because to install ghostscript I do need cairo which depends on xorg-libX11.

What did I do wrong?

[niels_seidel@…]

To be exact, ghostscript has further dependencies:

cairo xrender xorg-libX11 xorg-renderproto jpeg libtool xorg-libXext xorg-libXt xorg-libsm xorg-libice

Easy going were the following:

$ sudo port install xorg-libice

$ sudo port install xorg-libsm

But then xorg-libXt:

Error: The following dependencies failed to build: xorg-libX11
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing

Is there something wrong with the dependencies? Could I install parts of the needed packages outside of macports?

[niels_seidel@…]

To summarize the issue about the dependency loop:

If you want to install xorg-libX11 you need ghostscript which depends itself on five ports (cairo xrender xorg-libX11 xorg-libXext xorg-libXt) who are each depending on xorg-libX11.

For me it makes no sense to expect ghostscript at the installation of xorg-libX11.

Could anyone please reopen this ticket?

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

There is no loop. You borked your install. The reason you're seeing xorg-libX11 fail to build now is because you didn't clean it after nuking all your other ports, so it still thinks ps2pdf is installed (hence the error message which shows it is trying to execute ps2pdf which isn't there)
