Note that VLC is a problematic port to install with MacPorts. VLC requires a number of unstable video libraries that seem to break VLC every time they're updated. Additionally, VLC in MacPorts is several versions out of date. You're probably better off installing a self-contained VLC from the disk image provided on the VLC web site. > Here is the content of messages: > > [Users/scofield] > install VLC > ---> Computing dependencies for p5-locale-gettext > ---> Configuring p5-locale-gettext > Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell > command failed (see log for details) > Log for p5-locale-gettext is at: > /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5-locale-gettext/main.log > Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1 > Error: Unable to execute port: upgrade autoconf failed > To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets> > > The main.log file mentioned above contains these messages: > > version:1 > :msg:configure ---> Computing dependencies for > p5-locale-gettext:info:configure .:debug:configure Searching for dependency: > perl5 > :debug:configure Found Dependency: receipt exists for perl5 > :debug:configure Searching for dependency: gettext > :debug:configure Found Dependency: receipt exists for gettext > :debug:configure Searching for dependency: libiconv > :debug:configure Found Dependency: receipt exists for libiconv > :msg:configure > :debug:main Executing org.macports.main (p5-locale-gettext) > :debug:main Skipping completed org.macports.fetch (p5-locale-gettext) > :debug:main Skipping completed org.macports.checksum (p5-locale-gettext) > :debug:main Skipping completed org.macports.extract (p5-locale-gettext) > :debug:main Skipping completed org.macports.patch (p5-locale-gettext) > :msg:main ---> Configuring p5-locale-gettext > :debug:main Using compiler 'Mac OS X gcc 4.2' > :debug:configure configure phase started at Mon Jan 3 10:21:51 EST 2011 > :debug:configure Executing org.macports.configure (p5-locale-gettext) > :debug:configure Environment: CPATH='/opt/local/include' CFLAGS='-pipe -O2 > -arch x86_64' CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/local/include' CXXFLAGS='-pipe -O2 -arch > x86_64' LIBRARY_PATH='/opt/local/lib' MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET='10.6' > CXX='/usr/bin/g++-4.2' > CC_PRINT_OPTIONS_FILE='/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5-locale-gettext/work/.CC_PRINT_OPTIONS' > F90FLAGS='-pipe -O2 -m64' LDFLAGS='-L/opt/local/lib -arch x86_64' > FCFLAGS='-pipe -O2 -m64' OBJC='/usr/bin/gcc-4.2' INSTALL='/usr/bin/install > -c' PERL_AUTOINSTALL='--skipdeps' OBJCFLAGS='-pipe -O2 -arch x86_64' > FFLAGS='-pipe -O2 -m64' CC_PRINT_OPTIONS='YES' CC='/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -O2 > -L/opt/local/lib -arch x86_64' > :debug:configure Assembled command: 'cd > "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5-locale-gettext/work/gettext-1.05" > && /opt/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor' > :info:configure sh: /opt/local/bin/perl: No such file or directory You seem to be missing perl, though it is one of p5-locale-gettext's dependencies. Please clean p5-locale-gettext and try again: sudo port clean p5-locale-gettext sudo port install p5-locale-gettext If that fails the same way, verify perl5 and perl5.8 are installed and active: port installed perl5.8 perl5 If they are, you could try reinstalling them: sudo port -n upgrade --force perl5.8 perl5 _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
