Port: gtk2 added
Summary: gtk 2 fails to configuregtk2 fails to configure: libXext not found

The relevant message in the log seems to be:

error: *** libXext not found. Check 'config.log' for more details

Is the xorg-libXext port installed? It should be, since it is in the dependency chain. (gtk2 depends on xorg-libXinerama, xorg-libXcomposite, xorg-libXi and xorg-libXrandr, all of which depend on xorg-libXext.)

Does config.log contain any more details?

Replying to ryandesign@…:

With libXext installed now get the following error: Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: error copying "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_gtk2/gtk2/work/gtk+-2.24.8" to "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_gtk2/gtk2/work/gtk+-2.24.8-x86_64/gtk+-2.24.8": file already exists Log for gtk2 is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_gtk2/gtk2/main.log Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1

Cleaned gtk2 and ran again. Still no action. Will attach another log. Not just libXext, then? Maybe title should reflect that.

The problem here is with port. Sudo port upgrade outdated will *not* force the port to install the right libXext dependency. Installing xorg-xext will *not* install the right dependency. sudo port install gtk2 *will* force the right dependencies. These problems with upgrades, esp. re: gtk2 are *very* common and should, perhaps, be a priority for the maintainers.

xorg-libXi is installed according to your log, and depends on xorg-libXext. For xorg-libXext to not be present, you must have forcibly uninstalled or deactivated it.
