poppler @0.52.0: Failed to configure poppler: configure failure: command execution failed

[tom-seddon (Tom Seddon)]

Got this as part of a port selfupdate (which updated from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1)/port upgrade outdated (which updated a bunch of stuff).

Terminal log of port clean followed by having another go:

Aagh, sorry, forgot to say: this is using OS X 10.11.6.

uname -a, in case it's any use, says: Darwin tmbp.local 15.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 15.6.0: Tue Apr 11 16:00:51 PDT 2017; root:xnu-3248.60.11.5.3~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

An additional note.

I had a similar error from geoclue2, which MacPorts went to install when I did a port install boost@1.63.0. Relevant snippet from its log file: (I'll spare you the terminal output)

I guessed that one thing to do was to try installing libreadline@6, so I did port install readline@6.

% sudo port install readline@6
--->  Computing dependencies for readline

--->  Updating database of binaries
--->  Scanning binaries for linking errors
--->  Found 55 broken files, matching files to ports
--->  Found 8 broken ports, determining rebuild order
You can always run 'port rev-upgrade' again to fix errors.
The following ports will be rebuilt:
 fluidsynth @1.1.6
 gawk @4.1.4
 webkit-gtk3 @2.4.11+video
 webkit2-gtk @2.14.2+gtk2+x11
 ruby22 @2.2.5
 openldap @2.4.40
 gnupg @1.4.21
 texlive-bin @2016+x11
Continue? [Y/n]:

Note that this seems to involve an upgrade to gawk, and the upgraded gawk turns out to depend on a newer libreadline:

% otool -l `which gawk` | grep -i readline
         name /opt/local/lib/libreadline.7.dylib (offset 24)

And sure enough, this time when it got to geoclue2, it built OK. MacPorts is still working on stuff, but once it's done I will try upgrading poppler again. Maybe this time it will work.

So this looks like maybe there's stuff with an unannounced dependency on gawk...? I don't know enough about MacPorts to say for sure. Let me know if you want any more details.

I now have a working poppler.

Here's a list of all the MacPorts commands I ran in the session, starting from the two I ran to generate the output in the initial bug report.

65 is the command that prompted my second note above.

71 did a bunch of stuff, including the poppler upgrade that worked this time.

   61  sudo port clean --all poppler
   62  sudo port selfupdate outdated
   63  sudo port upgrade outdated
   64  port list boost
   65  sudo port install boost@1.63.0
   66  sudo port uninstall geoclue2
   67  port list readlrine
   68  port list readline
   69  sudo port install readline@6
   70  port list boost
   71  sudo port upgrade outdated
   72  sudo port upgrade poppler

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers poppler), if any.
