Sorry for the lack of a response; I've been busy. I'll try to take a look at this problem within the next couple weeks (hopefully sooner than later). I've noticed that elinks-devel no longer builds for me on 10.6, so maybe just a version bump is in order to fix it.

Just tried elinks-0.12pre5 and it too doesn't build right out of the box. There seems to be some sort of issue linking for the x86_64 architecture by ld. I'm not sure exactly how the build environment is setup by macports. I did get it to build fine by just:

% cd `port dir elinks-devel`
% cd work
% sudo make clean
% sudo make -j2 all

or something extremely similar.

Sorry for the long delay. It took me awhile to find some time to clean up the Portfile and get elinks-devel updated to 0.12pre5. I've committed an update in r65861 that should fix the build issues (I had to patch Makefile.lib). Please re-open this ticket if this fix doesn't work for you.
