libgda4: libtool: Version mismatch error

[blueberrybadger@…]

ran sudo port install gramps

and go this error message:

:info:build Warning: the following items did not execute (for libgda4): org.macports.activate org.macports.build org.macports.destroot org.macports.install
:notice:build Log for libgda4 is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_databases_libgda4/main.log

You did not provide the actual error message, but fortunately you attached the mail log and it does contain it.

What is the output of the following?

port installed libtool

I meant "main" log not "mail" log above.

libtool @2.2.10_0 (active)

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

So this error is rather puzzling:

:info:build libtool: Version mismatch error.  This is libtool 2.2.6b Debian-2.2.6b-2ubuntu1, but the
:info:build libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.2.10.
:info:build libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.6b Debian-2.2.6b-2ubuntu1
:info:build libtool: and run autoconf again.

Likely, the portfile needs use_autoreconf yes added to it.

Do so in these steps (add it at the bottom of the file that opens after the first command):

sudo port edit libgda4
sudo port clean libgda4
sudo port install libgda4

Let us know if that does the trick.

Did r69164 fix this?

[blueberrybadger@…]

Can't work out how to come out of editing the file

libtool mismatch fixed in r69164

I don't know if this is fixed or not. I asked for assistance on how to edit the file...

[sewebster@…]

Don't worry about editing the file anymore, just run

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port clean libgda4
sudo port install libgda4
sudo port install gramps

and hopefully it will work. If you were having trouble quitting the text editor that opened as a result of "sudo port edit libgda4" then I think the default editor is vi, and the way to exit is by typing

:q

Well, vi is a strange one, but its advantage is always being there. The advice given holds, if you do no changes. If changes have been done, do:

:wq

to save the changes, or:

:q!

to discard them.

Ok, the ticket was originally about libtool mismatch, hence the ticket is closed. Editing files is not something to create a ticket about (though you can ask advice somewhere else), sorry.

So pls let this stay closed, unless the mismatch pops up again.
