pkgconfig @0.26-devel +build failure

[hanski07@…]

I was attempting to install wine and an error message popped up for pkgconfig not building correctly. I then tried to install it directly and got the following:

$ sudo port install pkgconfig
--->  Computing dependencies for pkgconfig
--->  Building pkgconfig
Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed (see log for details)

Looking at the log, the error messages start when libtool opens lglib2 to parse and doesn't find what it needs. glib2.3.2 is installed and active. I tried to clean the glib and libtool with no results.

10.6 intel 2 core with Xcode 3.2.6 installed.

The problem is:

:info:build ./libtool: line 6424: /opt/local/bin/gsed: No such file or directory

Looks like pkgconfig's libtool wants to use /opt/local/bin/gsed for something, but /opt/local/bin/gsed doesn't exist; presumably it existed when you first started trying to install pkgconfig, but since then, you have uninstalled it.

Since this was not a clean build attempt of pkgconfig (as evidenced by the fact that it jumped straight into the "Building" phase, skipping the others, and the lines in the log that say "Skipping completed"), your first attempt to fix the problem should be to clean and try again.

sudo port clean pkgconfig
sudo port install pkgconfig

If that fails again, attach the new complete main.log.
