Could you please compile root using make -j1 and report the log?

Thank you in advance.

Xft isn't in the dependency chain for this port. It's likely the culprit.

log using make -j1

[thomas.phillips@…]

The attached file main_j1.log is the output from:
cd /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_science_root/work/root

Replying to snc@…:

Xft isn't in the dependency chain for this port. It's likely the culprit.

Confirmed and fixed in r69708.
