rdiff-backup fails to install

[sschym@…]

On a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.4.11, I get the following error messages when trying to install rdiff-backup:

[The full output of sudo port install -d rdiff-backup is in attached file]

checking for XPROTO... configure: error: Package requirements (xproto >= 7.0.13) were not met:

Requested 'xproto >= 7.0.13' but version of Xproto is 7.0.11

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XPROTO_CFLAGS
and XPROTO_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Before reporting a bug, first run the command again with the -d flag to get complete output.

Yep, sure enough, your xproto is out of date -- you have 7.0.11 installed and 7.0.16 is current. 'port upgrade xorg-xproto' should get things working. (I'm assuming you've also done a port selfupdate recently; if not, wouldn't hurt to do that first.)

But this sounds like there's still a bug somewhere. xorg-libX11 1.3.2 depends on xorg-xproto >= 7.0.13. xorg-libX11 depends_lib on xorg-xproto, and we have a sufficiently recent version of xorg-xproto in the ports tree. Shouldn't installing libX11 automatically force xproto to be upgraded?

Can't tell what's happening without actual debug output.

Isn't that what's attached?

Seems unlikely that the problem actually involves the rdiff-backup port, though.

There's no debug output in the attachment. I'm making no assumptions about what the actual problem is with.

Uh, yeah, you're right. I am a moron. I even noticed it looked remarkably unhelpful, as debug output goes!

I guess that's the difference between "port install -d" and "port -d install"

Stan, can you run "port -d install rdiff-backup" and attach the output?
