Error: The following dependencies failed to build: py-gnome nautilus librsvg metacity py-gtk2 py-numeric py-orbit Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Of course pango is installed:

s$ port installed pango The following ports are currently installed:

pango @1.10.1_0 (active)

An email conversation about this bug:

Please send the output of "port installed" I am wondering if your pango was built differently than mine and if perhaps I will see that in the list of installed packages.

here it is. Maybe pango should have been installed in an xterm in X.app?

This seems to have solved the problem, metacity just builds that means it has passed the configuring phase that has failed earlier.

That should not have made a difference. If you have other build problems with X11-based ports and this works, please report them to the mailing list, along with the contents of your .profile and .xinitrc files.

The suspicious line in .profile is

TERM=xterm-color export TERM

Does this disturb the build? Usually I use Terminal.app.

==== I am unable on two machines to reproduce this bug, and propose calling it a fluke.

It's been a local issue on my machine, thanks for Randalls support.
