problem of configure variable with-tcl in dports/databases/db4 under MacOS X 10.3

[mjhsieh@…]

In the file dports/databases/db4/Portfile, the variant argument is asking for a directory that doesn't exist in 10.3 Panther. [code] variant darwin { configure.args-append --enable-tcl \

--with-tcl=/System/Library/Tcl/8.3

} code

Therefore it would give an error message like this: [errorcode] configure: error: /System/Library/Tcl/8.3 directory doesn't contain tclConfig.sh errorcode

The with-tcl variable might need to change to /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4 in 10.3 Panther.

This is a known issue.

I should add that this should be patched soon as soon as a proposed mechanism for selecting platform-specifics is added.

This has been fixed. You will need to upgrade your darwinports-base install as well as your dports tree.
