ld: Undefined symbols: error on attempts to build packages

I get these errors when I try to compile gd or libpng.

ranlib: file: libgd.a(gdcache.o) has no symbols cc -I. -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/X11 -I/usr/X11R6/include/X11 -I/opt/local/ include -O -DHAVE_LIBPNG -DHAVE_LIBJPEG -fno-common -no-cpp-precomp -c -o pngtogd.o pngtogd.c cc -I. -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/X11 -I/usr/X11R6/include/X11 -I/opt/local/ include pngtogd.o -o pngtogd -L. -L/opt/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/X11 -L/usr/ X11R6/lib -lgd -lpng -lz -ljpeg ld: warning -L: directory name (/usr/lib/X11) does not exist ld: warning -L: directory name (/usr/X11R6/lib) does not exist ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _main pngtogd.o definition of _main in section (TEXT,text) /usr/local/lib/libgd.dylib(libgd.2.0.0.dylib-master.o) definition of _main ld: Undefined symbols: _gdImageCreateFromPng gnumake: * [pngtogd] Error 1

I believe this is caused by lacking X-libraries. (this is just an assumption based upon the compile error down below). libpng should be the one needed to depend on X. I'll reassign the bug to eric@ since he is the maintainer of these ports.

curious, since I have X installed and I would assume the libraries would be there. Is there any further information I can provide that will help unravel this?

On further review, this may resolved: I just tried installing gd again and all went reasonably well (mixed results are below).

If this is now working for you, I'd like to close it as fixed.

Yes, this can be closed.
