I also needed the configure output. I have: checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /opt/local/bin/gmkdir -p I think you get something else, in which case a solution to solve the problem is to install the coreutils port. The fact that it doesn't work without the coreutils seems to be an upstream bug. I can see in the configure script: else # As a last resort, use the slow shell script. Don't cache a # value for MKDIR_P within a source directory, because that will # break other packages using the cache if that directory is # removed, or if the value is a relative name. test -d ./--version && rmdir ./--version MKDIR_P="$ac_install_sh -d" fi The "else" is taken when you don't have the coreutils mkdir. And the problem is that the install-sh doesn't have the exec bit set (this is not a problem in general, but here it is, and upstream isn't aware of this). I'll report the bug and also patch the texinfo port later tonight. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
