I’m trying to install zim, but am running into problems which I detail below.
I have just installed mac ports, and have the latest version of Xcode. I am
running Snow Leopard, and for what it’s worth, I’m new to Macs and mac port,
coming from the linux world.
Thanks!
Here’s what happens when I try to install zim.
$ sudo port install zim

We would need to see what is in the above-mentioned main.log file to know what
went wrong here. I don't see any tickets filed for p5-file-basedir in the issue
tracker.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. The salient portion of the main.log file is below.
running sudo port clean zim and sudo port upgrade outdated doesn’t seem to
help. Also, sudo port upgrade outdated has this error.
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command
failed (see log for details)
Log for help2man is at:
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_help2man/main.log
Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1
When I look in the log for sudo port install zim, I see this:
:info:configure checking for library containing bindtextdomain... -lintl
:info:configure configure: error: perl module Locale::gettext required
:info:configure shell command " cd
"/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_help2man/work/help2man-1.38.2"&&
./configure --prefix=/opt/local --enable-nls " returned error 1
help2man is for some reason extremely problematic to install. See this latest
ticket:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27457
For what it's worth, one of the posters to the bug tracking page
reported that for help2man:
The problem was that perl's Locale::gettext was not properly
installed. Attempting to install it through ports or cpan also
failed, complaining of a missing libintl, or being unable to find
the gettext libs.
I was able to install Locale::gettext by obtaining the source, and
running
CC='cc -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib ' perl Makefile.PL
before 'make && make install'
After Locale::gettext was installed, I was able to install help2man
through ports.
For me finding and installing the source code for a perl library seems
more trouble than it is worth. I'm starting to think if I want
linux-y type things like GNU software, my best best may be just to
install a linux distro in a virtual machine. I'm digressing off topic
here, but just the fact that I have to register as an Apple Developer
and give them all sorts of personal information to get Xcode makes me
think trying to use the *nix tools with which I am familiar is going to
be a pain. I was hoping I could have the best of both worlds with my
Mac, but I'm starting to be pessimistic. I hope someone will tell me
I'm wrong though!
Thanks, Derek
