Log of attempt to build py26-enable

The interesting error is:

Specified path  is invalid

Failing to find this empty "" path it then goes on with "Specified path /usr/X11R6/lib64 is invalid" and "Specified path /usr/X11/lib64 is invalid" and "Specified path /usr/lib64 is invalid". Clearly it's looking for X11 and its first choice for where to look for it is empty for some reason, so it tries various fallback locations, none of which make sense on OS X.

That's a warning. The error is:

distutils.errors.DistutilsError: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('setupdocs>=1.0')

Replying to jmr@…: My macbook pro blew up (nvidia bug), so I won't be able to fix this, sorry :(

Sadly, there may be more to it than that. The only "setupdocs" I can find in the ports collection is py25-setupdocs. Installing that explicitly still doesn't solve the problem - the same error results when attempting to install py26-enable.

[obrien@…]

Workaround is to use /opt/local/bin/easy_install-N.N (where "N.N" is the python version of interest) to manually install SetupDocs 1.0.5 or whatever you can download. This violates all sorts of MacPorts religious doctrine. It also allows you to continue to install py26-enable. On the whole, I'll take it, till somebody actually fixes the port.
