I just ran port selfupdate after several months and experienced the following oddities.
* readline was reported as disabled: $ sudo port selfupdate Password: ---> Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync MacPorts base version 2.4.0 installed, MacPorts base version 2.4.1 downloaded. ---> Updating the ports tree ---> MacPorts base is outdated, installing new version 2.4.1 Warning: Disabling readline support due to readline in /usr/local There is no readline directory in /usr/local. * I next ran $ sudo port upgrade outdated which resulted in: ---> Computing dependencies for poppler ---> Fetching archive for poppler ---> Attempting to fetch poppler-0.56.0_0.darwin_15.x86_64.tbz2 from https://packages.macports.org/poppler ---> Attempting to fetch poppler-0.56.0_0.darwin_15.x86_64.tbz2 from http://sea.us.packages.macports.org/macports/packages/poppler ---> Attempting to fetch poppler-0.56.0_0.darwin_15.x86_64.tbz2 from http://kmq.jp.packages.macports.org/poppler ---> Fetching distfiles for poppler ---> Attempting to fetch poppler-0.56.0.tar.xz from https://distfiles.macports.org/poppler ---> Verifying checksums for poppler ---> Extracting poppler ---> Configuring poppler Error: Failed to configure poppler, consult /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_poppler/poppler/work/poppler-0.56.0/config.log Error: Failed to configure poppler: configure failure: command execution failed Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_poppler/poppler/main.log for details. The referenced log file is attached. It mentions a problem loading libreadline as such (thus the mention of readline above): :info:configure dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libreadline.6.dylib * However, after the problem was reported: $ port installed readline The following ports are currently installed: readline @6.3.003_1 readline @7.0.003_1 (active) and $ port installed poppler The following ports are currently installed: poppler @0.48.0_0 (active) I notice that the version of readline that poppler requested is 6 while macports reports that version 7 is active. Also, the indicated version of the installed poppler is 0.48.0_0 while the current version is apparently 0.56.0. Jerry
