mkvtoolnix @5.6.0 installation and runtime failures — at Version 1

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
Installing the latest version of mkvtoolnix fails on a fresh install of macports. The issue with the installation was that pkgconfig and curl are not defined as a dependency of mkvtoolnix. These are both required and I had to look in the log files to figure this out. After I installed them by hand mkvtoolnix install completed.
However, after installing mkvtoolnix the mkvextract tool doesn't work. Here is the runtime error I get:
mkvextract(48429) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fff7aac4860: pointer being freed was not allocated *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
This might be a compilation error since it appears that the mkvtoolnix package is shipped as source rather than binary.

Virtually all ports build from source at one time or another.
I've added the missing curl and pkgconfig dependencies in r94091; thank you for reporting that.
As for the mkvextract malloc error message, I don't know how to reproduce that. When I run "mkvextract" with no arguments, it correctly prints the usage message. If you have a reproduction recipe, you can post it here, however the responsibility for fixing the problem ultimately lies with the developers of mkvtoolnix, so you should report the problem to them.
