ftgl-2.1.2 Installation broken, but no errors are displayed. Package unusable

[hahn.seb@…]

Trying to install ftgl on Snow Leopard appears to work fine and succeeds without error, but the resulting installation is totally broken. Neither the library nor the demo utilities are actually installed, so that ftgl is unusable. mf2k_mp on #macports mentioned that installing the port with --debug gives an error, so the normal installation shouldn't pretend nothing happened.

It also looks like the upstream package might be broken, as it tries to install something in the home directory of a user henry.

Here's the error seen while building with debug:

The prior comment was building on Snow Leopard (10.6.1).

When i build on Leopard (10.5.8), and try to run the FTGLDemo, i see the following strange error:

$ FTGLDemo 
Failed to open font /Users/henry/Development/PROJECTS/FTGL/test/font_pack/arial.ttf

Yet I have no user named "henry" on my machine.

The Portfile mentioned in bug #18444 fixes the installation problems for me and creates a useable ftgl.
