I assume you've python_select'ed python 3?

Replying to jmr@…:

I assume you've python_select'ed python 3?

why would i want to do that? there is no dependency on Python 3 that i can see in the VLC documentation

[vulcan_@…]

confirmed on ​VLC wiki .. no need to have Python to build VLC .. is there something in Py 3 needed for installation because it is a port package?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

What I meant was having python 3 selected is probably why the build is failing.

vulcan_: Please clean and install avahi.

$ sudo port clean avahi
$ sudo port install avahi
