So it looks like phantomjs has an undeclared dependency on qt4-mac.

Unfortunately qt4-mac doesn't build on Mavericks right now.

[stromnov (Andrey Stromnov)]

Phantomsjs incorporates own subset of QT4 sources, therefore phantomjs experiencing problems similar to qt4-mac.

The qt4-mac problems on mavericks have been fixed in r112811. Can that changeset be merged into the QT4 copy included in phantoms?

[macports.org@…]

Cc Me!

[royliu@…]

Potentially fixed in r112873.

[wichert@…]

I can confirm phantomjs installs and works correctly now. Thanks!

[macports.org@…]

Same here. Thanks!

I'm still getting this error

Replying to brandon.zacharie@…:

I'm still getting this error

I was able to install after I did a complete uninstall/reinstall of MacPorts. I suspect the problem I had was a side effect of upgrading to Mavericks.

[wichert@…]

Interestingly I get this again after upgrading to yosemite.

Looks like the patch from r112873. needs to be updated to add 10.10 as well.
