Looking at the error message, curl, not curl-ca-bundle nor htop, is the port failing to build.

So, the question is why your curl-config differs in those two directories listed. Can you please attach both of the curl-config files so I can compare them?

Based on the limited output you provided, it looks like you using the universal variant. Do you really need to build universal? If not, you can avoid the problem by building for Intel only.

[keith.crist@…]

I do not need to build universal. The two files are attached. The command was Install htop, macports did the rest. I am new to macports, please let me know the command to build Intel only. Thanks, Keith

[keith.crist@…]

I did edit macports.conf universal_archs i386 x86_64

Then:

Mac88311ELYP4-2:~ kcrist$ sudo port uninstall git-core
Mac88311ELYP4-2:~ kcrist$ sudo port uninstall curl

Is it OK to just remove /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_curl/work and start over?

The files are identical except that the PowerPC version contains "'--host=powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0' 'host_alias=powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0'" which makes this report a duplicate of #24001.

The command to build curl for Intel only is:

sudo port clean curl
sudo port install curl

To build universal, you would have had to ask for the universal variant with "sudo port install curl +universal", or have put "+universal" in your variants.conf. MacPorts base also sometimes rebuilds dependencies universal if it believes that will help, but that should really only apply if your build_arch is 64-bit (e.g. x86_64) and you are building a port that requires 32-bit (e.g. i386), and this is only the case by default, so you should not have run into it on Leopard, unless you have changed your build_arch.

Replying to keith.crist@…:

I did edit macports.conf universal_archs i386 x86_64

If you change universal_archs, you pretty much need to manually rebuild any existing ports you've installed universal. Really it's best not to change universal_archs once you've installed any ports.

Yes, and to do so, you would run "sudo port clean curl".

That should read "and this is only the case by default on Snow Leopard"

universal i386 ppc must be the default. After cleaned out the work folder and pkgconfig I tried to reinstall:

Anyway all is good, I uninstalled the problem ports and rebuilt with -universal. htop installed without errors.
Thank you for your help and instructions.

i386 ppc is the default for universal builds on Leopard and earlier.

It is not the default to build universal; you have to request it by typing "+universal" on the command line or putting it in variants.conf.

If you're building universal for i386 ppc then this is #24001.

After looking over the comments above, I'm still confused as to how to fix the curl-config differs error. Previous ports were building universal as below;

But then clearly the curl port had the powerpc/intel difference. I then tried to clean the curl port and build just for intel (with and without the "+universal" but got exactly the same error.

So how can this difference be resolved? I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

This is a duplicate of #24001. To resolve it, I suppose I would have to reinplace out the parts of the config script that shouldn't be there.
