Description

When I want to install Liferea, I get:

[...] GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=xml::/opt/local/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults /opt/local/bin/gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule ./liferea.schemas No such file `/opt/local/lib/GConf/2/libgconfbackend-xml.dylib'

Failed to load source "xml::/opt/local/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults": Failed: Couldn't locate backend module for `xml::/opt/local/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults'

GConf-ERROR : file gconftool.c: line 820 (main): assertion failed: (err == NULL) aborting... [...]

I think that the other errors are due to the first one: /opt/local/lib/GConf/2/libgconfbackend-xml.dylib has not been installed.

"port contents gconf | grep libgconfbackend-xml" gives:

/opt/local/lib/GConf/2/libgconfbackend-xml.a /opt/local/lib/GConf/2/libgconfbackend-xml.la /opt/local/lib/GConf/2/libgconfbackend-xml.so

Summary: BUG: gconf: No such file `/opt/local/lib/GConf/2/libgconfbackend-xml.dylib'BUG: gconf: libgconfbackend-* libraries have .so extension instead of .dylib

It seems that this is GNOME bug 172971:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172971

The workaround I've found: cd /opt/local/lib/GConf/2 ln -s libgconfbackend-evoldap.so libgconfbackend-evoldap.dylib ln -s libgconfbackend-oldxml.so libgconfbackend-oldxml.dylib ln -s libgconfbackend-xml.so libgconfbackend-xml.dylib

Well, I'm sure sure this is really correct, but this seems to work on my machine.

Summary: BUG: gconf: libgconfbackend-* libraries have .so extension instead of .dylibBUG: inconsistent module extension (.so vs .dylib)

According to what has been said in the bug-libtool list, glib2 is wrong: the modules should have the .so extension.

In /opt/local/lib/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h from glib2 2.10.1_0, I have:

#define G_MODULE_SUFFIX "dylib"

This should be "so".

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322476 confirms that the bug is in glib2 2.10.1. The solution is to remove

darwin*)

glib_gmodule_suffix='dylib' ;;

from the configure file.
