when using py-xml together with py-wxpython, I get a reproductible
bus error whenever I try to use sax or minidom (both relying on
expat). Invoking the parsers crashes the application with a bus
error. The workaround I found is to import xml.parsers.pyexpat
before
importing wx - but this is a workaround, not a bug fix.

Can someone comment on this? What could I do to narrow the bug?
* This problem may be caused by wxPython being built/linking against
older versions of libexpat than pyexpat is.
Apparently the wxwidgets Portfile is causing this error.
"configure.ldflags"
lacks "-L${prefix}/lib" and thus configure thinks that expat does
not exist in
the system and links to its own version of the library.
I agree. When I configure wxwidgets, I see:
configure: WARNING: system expat library not found, will use built-in
instead
"-L${prefix}/lib" should be in the LDFLAGS by default for all
portfiles. MacPorts base is supposed to ensure that. But wxwidgets's
use of configure.ldflags is overriding the MacPorts defaults.
This seems to have been done deliberately in r25114 for ticket #11577
to fix a different problem -- perhaps the problem that "-L${prefix}/
lib" caused the wxwidgets build to pick up libraries from the
previous wxwidgets installation?
One could use configure.ldflags-append instead of configure.ldflags,
but that would still put "-L${prefix}/lib" first, which might still
cause the same problems as in #11577.
Hopefully putting "-L${prefix}/lib" at the end would be sufficient:
