sqlite3 universal build fails when readline is not universal

Building sqlite3 fails; command line output is below; I have attached the build log.

Please remember WikiFormatting, preview before you submit, fill in the Port field, Cc the port maintainer.

sqlite3 builds fine on Snow Leopard. The problem is you are trying to build sqlite3 universal but its dependency readline has not been built universal. Rebuild readline universal, then clean sqlite3 and try again.

sudo port clean sqlite3
sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants readline +universal

Replying to jonathan.hayward@…:

bash-3.2# port install -f sqlite3

FYI, the "-f" flag (and all other one-character-long flags) have no effect unless placed immediately after the word "port", but you don't want to be using the "-f" flag in this case (or in most cases) anyway.

Readline is installed universal according to the log, but apparently not for the needed archs.

I cleaned sqlite3 and upgraded readline, and things are chugging along. Thanks!
