This build failure appears to be caused by the upgrade of libpng14 to libpng15 in MacPorts about three weeks ago. The attached patch turns off the compilation of GL-dependent code in arb and the build now completes successfully. This disables the 3D rendering of rRNA molecules, which is a seldom used arb feature. I have contacted the upstream developer about updating arb for lipng15 compatibility, but in the meantime let's use this workaround.

Matt - thank you very much for all of your efforts in maintaining this port! I applied this patch to the make.config file, but I found that "ARB_64 := @@64BIT@@# compile 64bit ARB version" still caused a build failure. I put it back to "ARB_64 := 1# compile 64bit ARB version" and this gave a complete ARB build on my system. Thank you again.

Glad to hear you were successful and can now get some work done.

Any committers out there willing to commit this patch so that we can close this ticket?

Duplicate #36311 has (different?) patches attached.

I made an error in the patch attached to Duplicate #36311, so thanks for closing that ticket. The patches attached to this ticket are correct and solve the libpng15 problem with arb. My apologies for the confusion.
