autotrace @0.31.1_9: Cannot find libpstoedit

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

This happens:

*** Checking pstoedit existence TWICE(if needed) ***
*** This is the 1st check                        ***
checking for pstoedit-config... /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_lil.fr.rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_autotrace/autotrace/work/bin/pstoedit-config
checking for PSTOEDIT - version >= 3.32.1... no
*** Could not run PSTOEDIT test program, checking why...
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
*** that the run-time linker is not finding PSTOEDIT or finding the wrong
*** version of PSTOEDIT. If it is not finding PSTOEDIT, you'll need to set your
*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point
*** to the installed location  Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that
*** is required on your system
***
*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although
*** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH
*** The 1st check is failed.                     ***
*** This is the 2nd check                        ***

although an usable version of pstoedit is installed:

pete 297 /\ l /opt/local/lib/libpstoedit*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  343324 22 Dez 20:59 /opt/local/lib/libpstoedit.0.dylib

pete 298 /\ port installed | grep pstoedit
  pstoedit @3.61_3
  pstoedit @3.61_4 (active)

This problem was already reported and solved in #28663. Here and now it happens on PPC Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.8).

I'm not sure why this failed for you, but that was with version 0.31.1 from 2002. In the past few years a new developer has started updating autotrace and the new version 0.40.0-20200219.65 will be available in MacPorts within an hour, and the configuration system no longer looks for pstoedit-config so it shouldn't be possible for it to fail the same way anymore.
