Main.log attached.

Gnuplot fails to build with:

undefined symbol _gdImagePng for architecture x86_64

Apologies forgot to cc maintainer mojca@… … but can't see how to add to cc list now ticket already created!

I noticed this error on the Snow Leopard buildbot too. It built fine on my Mountain Lion system.

I noticed this error on the Snow Leopard buildbot too. It built fine on my Mountain Lion system.

I'm seeing the exact same failure on Mountain Lion. Was about to create a ticket, but saw that this one was created a few minutes ago already.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

It built fine on Lion as well. Now the buildbot failed for all three (10.6, 10.7 and 10.8).

Ticket #29266 seems related to this problem.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

... and I'm almost sure that the ticket should be assigned to gd2, not to gnuplot.

Ticket #29266 seems related to this problem.

Good memory (or searching)!

That was 2 years ago. Back then the problem was that a rogue libpng-config in /usr/bin/ was being found instead of the MacPorts one, and it didn't work, causing PNG support to be silently disabled in gd2.

Are those of you experiencing the problem building from source or using our binary packages? Do you have any libpng-config in /usr/bin/?

Has duplicates #40126, #40127.

No PNG, VPX, TIFF, FreeType, FontConfig, or XPM? Yeesh. Perhaps I'm missing a pkgconfig dependency :(

[gallafent]

find /usr/bin -iname '*libpng*'

… does not return anything. My system uses binary packages where available, otherwise builds from source (as per building gnuplot from source here!)

The following might be of interest:

(The failure is with the same error.)

If I force an uninstallation of gd2, then try again, the binary package is used:

Gnuplot build then fails with the same error.

I tried building gd2 from source with:

sudo port -s install gd2 +x11

… this time graphviz was rebuilt first, successfully, and then gnuplot, successfully!

It looks, then, as if the problem is with the binary package of gd2 … does this make sense? Terminal output of this successful build follows:
