what does config.log say?

[dershow]

Webkit config.log

[dershow]

I am seeing the same error so attached my config.log.

--Adam

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Ok, what do these say?

port installed autoconf
which autoconf

[dershow]

$ port installed autoconf
The following ports are currently installed:
  autoconf @2.63_0 (active)
$ which autoconf
/opt/local/bin/autoconf

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

well, it looks like an autoconf foulup so see if the attached patch does any better. Be sure and clean the port after applying the patch before building again.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Patch for Portfile

[dershow]

That patch did the job for me.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Good and its simpler too.
