In the future, please use WikiFormatting, fill in the Port field and add the port maintainer(s) to Cc (port info --maintainers graphviz), if any.

This exact error comes up every few years in random ports. On one occasion, the user had stuff installed in /usr/local from homebrew, and it was thought that might be the cause.

On the other occasions, nobody seems to have been able to figure out what the issue was. It is not a reproducible error.

Best I can suggest to you is to look in /opt/local/var/macports/build/ and see if there are any partially-completed builds in there. If there are, sudo port clean them until that directory is empty. Then restart your system to completely reset everything, and try that build again.

Duplicate of #44381.

Sorry, I'm wrong. #44381 is asking us to add a dependency on MacPorts flex because macOS flex is allegedly unable to build this port. However in your log here it shows you are already using MacPorts flex, so adding that dependency would have no effect for you.

We just updated graphviz-devel to 2.48.0. Can you retest with that (after first running sudo port selfupdate)?
