[gwyan.rhabyt@…]

MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.6, Xcode 3.1.2 reinstalled this morning. Ran macports self update. Added IDLE from python.org tried sudo port install py-game key error seems to be:

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XPROTO_CFLAGS
and XPROTO_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Try the following:

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated
sudo port clean xorg-libX11
sudo port install py-game

Closing, lack of response.

I encountered this problem as well. To fix it, I simply did:

sudo port deactivate xorg-xproto
sudo port install xorg-xproto

... since I already had an outdated version of xorg-xproto installed. FWIW, a very similar error came up for xorg-macros, and I solved it by doing the same thing:

sudo port deactivate xorg-util-macros
sudo port install xorg-util-macros

These were the only two packages that gave me this problem.

Note that 'port upgrade' is better and simpler than 'port deactivate; port install'.
