libgnomeui build failure: loaders.cache: no such file or directory

[robertkuhar@…]

I am trying to get Meld onto my OS X 10.6.8 box using MacPorts 2.0.3 and am not having success.

When I look at /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_gnome_libgnomeui/libgnomeui/main.log it has a line like...

:info:build Warning: the following items did not execute (for libgnomeui): org.macports.activate org.macports.build org.macports.destroot org.macports.install
:error:build Failed to install libgnomeui
:debug:build couldn't open "/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Resources/tclIndex": no such file or directory
    while executing

:notice:build Log for libgnomeui is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_gnome_libgnomeui/libgnomeui/main.log

...and that file is indeed missing on my system. Is this a MacPort bug or failed configuration on my system?

There is an older XCode on this Mac at Version 3.2.6 (1761)

I don't see any error message in that log that I can do anything with.

The tclIndex error message you mentioned above (which does not appear in the log) is spurious and is never the cause of a problem.

Please clean the affected port and try again and attach the new main.log.

sudo port clean libgnomeui
sudo port install libgnomeui

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Please clean the affected port and try again and attach the new main.log.

sudo port clean libgnomeui
sudo port install libgnomeui

I have executed those steps and the result is essentially the same. Here is the console output, I have attached the main.log.

main.log following clean suggestion

[robertkuhar@…]

This main.log is indeed different. It is not complaining about missing tclIndex, but it does have failures that are equally mysterious to me...

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ok so the relevant error seems to be:

:info:build (process:39463): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/opt/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache': No such file or directory
:info:build failed to load "./stock_attach.png": Couldn't recognize the image file format for file './stock_attach.png'
:info:build make[4]: *** [gnome-stock-pixbufs.h] Error 1

I assume something in another port was supposed to make that loaders.cache but didn't, and now as a result libgnomeui can't figure out what format its images are.

Is this still a problem with current versions?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

No response; presumed fixed.
