Recurrent Problems on Leopard
environment variables become blank
This manifests as error messages like: unable to execute -DNDEBUG: No such file or directory
. ($CC is an empty string, so what was meant to be the the first argument to the compiler is now the first thing on the command line, and is treated as a command name by the shell.) Seems to frequently occur when building Python modules; see #13930.
This problem can be worked around by cleaning the work area of the affected port using
sudo port clean --work foo
and then running the port install
(or port upgrade
) command again.
Here is an analysis of the problem by Bryan Blackburn.
This is fixed in MacPorts 1.7.0 (r36719, r36722, r39016, r39017, r41603, r41639, r41650, r41651).
ld: cycle in dylib re-exports with /usr/X11/lib/libGL.dylib
This is the result of a misfeature in Leopard's linker. See Apple's Technical Q&A QA1567. It can generally be fixed by adding the following to the portfile inside a platform darwin 9
block:
configure.ldflags-append -dylib_file \ /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib:\ /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib
macfuse fails to build
There is an issue with building macfuse on versions of Leopard prior to 10.5.5, documented in ticket #15889. If it fails to build for you with the error message
undefined local variable or method `trans' for <UNDEFINED> ... </>:REXML::Document
then you've run into #15889. Upgrading to 10.5.5 or later will fix this, or if you can't upgrade for some reason, a possible workaround is given in the ticket.
/usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.2.0.0.dylib: No such file or directory
This is a problem encountered when trying to install gtk2 on some Leopard machines (#14592). The .la files in /usr/X11/lib
refer to the wrong library.
According to #17008, upgrading X11 using Software Update should fix this.
If not, upgrading to the latest XQuartz (http://xquartz.macosforge.org/) certainly fixes the problem.
Alternate solutions are given in tickets #14592 and #17008.
