What OS version are you running?

Replying to snc@…:

What OS version are you running?

Leopard Server, everything is up to date.

Darwin iMac.local 9.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0: Wed Jul 15 16:55:01 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1228.15.4~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386 iMac6,1 Darwin

Setting to low priority since 10.6 is not out yet.

Have you tried doing this (you need autoconf/automake ports installed):

sudo port clean lftp
sudo port patch lftp
cd `port work lftp`/lftp-3.7.6
autoreconf -v
cd
sudo port configure lftp

Please attach the output from autoreconf -v forward.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Sorry, forgot sudo: you'll need to run sudo autoreconf -v

It does fail.

Who said anything about 10.6?

[Damien@…]

Replying to jmr@…:

Who said anything about 10.6?

Not me :)

But, yes, the problem is maybe related to 64 bits.

The transition to Snow Leopard is going to be… interesting, because a lot of ports fail to compile when build_arch is x86_64.

I misread "Leopard" as "Snow Leopard". Gotta love it.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Replying to Damien@…:

It does fail.

It looks like the autoconf files are pretty broken.

configure.ac:270: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_LIBGNUTLS

It likely won't be able to find TLS, amongst other issues.

I don't think this is a problem anymore. I can build lftp 4.0.9 on Mac OS X 10.6.4 just fine.
