Cc Me!

what does config.log say?

[dersh@…]

Webkit config.log

[dersh@…]

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

--Adam

[devans@…]

Ok, what do these say?

port installed autoconf
which autoconf

[dersh@…]

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

[devans@…]

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.

[devans@…]

Patch for Portfile

[dersh@…]

That patch did the job for me.

[devans@…]

Good and its simpler too.
