Error building nifticlib +universal

[dav@…]

I haven't tracked down the details, but when I try 'port install nifticlib +universal', I get the following error (regular non-universal builds and installs fine):

$ sudo port install nifticlib +universal
--->  Fetching nifticlib

Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

Note - this happened under 1.7, and I updated and it still happened under 1.7.1

The port itself does not append this --disable-dependency-checking that is causing the problems, so this must be done by the built in macports universal variant. I'll touch base with the devs and see what they think.

Adding --disable-dependency-checking is part of the default universal variant for ports which are configure-based; if a port uses a non-standard configure script then you either need to handle universal building yourself, or set universal_variant no to disable the default +universal.
