BUG: py25-zlib fails to build

[takanori@…]

I tried to install py25-zlib from scratch but it failed to build. Here is my buildlog:

$ port version
Version: 1.600

This problem only occurs at the first time, so that's odd.

$ port installed
The following ports are currently installed:
  expat @2.0.1_0 (active)
  gettext @0.17_1 (active)
  libiconv @1.12_0 (active)

I'm guessing this may be a bug in MacPorts 1.6(-rc2) since this problem does not occur on MacPorts 1.5.2.

what version of OS X is this? 10.5? I guess a powerpc?

[takanori@…]

Right. I'm now using Mac OS X 10.5.1/ppc.

Any news? I just observed a similar failure on fresh 10.5.2/intel with macports 1.6.0:

another comment/solution?: I went into the directory where the command was failing ( /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_python_py25-zlib/work/Python-2.5.2/Modules ), and re-executed it with a sudo prefix. The command succeeded and the build completed after I tried another port install. I don't know why it failed the first time -- it's as if the first port install lost sudo privileges.

Same problem here.

Could be related to #14687?
