rb-glib2: arch mismatch with rb-pkg-config

[JPershin@…]

but I get the following message...

--->  Computing dependencies for rb-gnome
Error: Cannot install rb-glib2 for the arch(s) 'i386 ppc' because
Error: its dependency rb-pkg-config does not build for the required arch(s) by default
Error: and does not have a universal variant.
Error: Unable to execute port: architecture mismatch
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

any suggestions?

Replying to JPershin@…:

any suggestions?

Try not using +universal? What OS version and hardware are you on?

thanks for your reporting,

There are two problems.

1. rb-pkg-config should be "noarch". rb-pkg-config is a pure-ruby program.
2. rb-gnome libraries' ports do not support "universal" variant. The ports are build as single architecture against +universal.

I've fixed (1) at r74715, and now working to fix (2).

I fixed the problem (2) at r74726.

please try to install port:rb-gnome after `port selfupdate'.

FYI, this change will make the ports fail on Tiger because its arch(1) can't be used in this way.

purchased and installed snow leopard OSX.

Attempted to 'port selfupdate' and received following error message

---> Updating the ports tree Error: Synchronization of the local ports tree failed doing rsync Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Couldn't sync the ports tree: Synchronization of 1 source(s) failed

attempted to 'sudo port install rb-gnome and received following error message

1. After upgrading to a new major OS version you need to follow the Migration instructions.
2. You don't have the fix because your sync failed. There's a relevant FAQ entry.

[kimuraw (kimura wataru)]

please upgrade rb-pkg-config before install rb-glib.

% sudo port upgrade rb-pkg-config
% port installed rb-pkg-config
The following ports are currently installed:
  rb-pkg-config @1.0.7_0 (active)  # your rb-pkg-config would be 1.0.7
% sudo port intall rb-gnome
