Gperf 3.0.4 - OS Lion - universal binary error?

[will.pearse@…]

Hello,

I've been trying to get this to work for a while, but after some debugging, the most helpful output I can get is the following:

sudo port install gperf
Error: Requested variants "" do not match original selection "+universal".
Please use the same variants again, perform 'port clean gperf' or specify the force option (-f).
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

If I install from fresh, like this:

sudo port install gperf
--->  Fetching archive for gperf
--->  Attempting to fetch gperf-3.0.4_2.darwin_11.x86_64.tbz2 from http://packages.macports.org/gperf
--->  Fetching gperf
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for gperf

--->  Configuring gperf
--->  Building gperf
--->  Staging gperf into destroot
--->  Installing gperf @3.0.4_2
--->  Activating gperf @3.0.4_2
--->  Cleaning gperf

...it works fine, so presumably it's something to do with the universal binaries. I've seen a few other tickets related to this - unless this is something very strange I'm doing, could this be a general bug? I'm on a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro, with XCode 4.1 installed.

Thanks very much!

Will

You have a partially completed build of gperf. Do what the message says: either continue the build with the same variants it was started with, or clean.
