Building of blackbox fails, maybe related to libiconv

I've chosen the "universal" variant, which fails this incomprehensible way, but it is the same with the "darwin_7" variant (how can I retrieve details on the differences between the two variants?). Libiconv is installed:

 port list installed | egrep 'xorg-libXext|Xft2|expat|libiconv'
tclsh(63077,0xa0b1c820) malloc: Could not open , using stderr
expat                          @2.0.1          textproc/expat
libiconv                       @1.13           textproc/libiconv
Xft2                           @2.1.14         x11/Xft2

Running "port list installed" does not tell us anything useful about your setup. That tells you the latest version available, but not what you have installed. Instead run the following:

port installed xorg-libXext Xft2 expat libiconv

What version of Mac OS X and Xcode are you running?

FYI, it is not clear but darwin_7 is a platform variant and should never be explicitly selected.

blackbox installed fine for me on 10.6.2 but without the universal variant. Can you try that?

Are all of the dependencies installed with +universal?

Maybe it's Porticus which is fooling me! On the command line building of blackbox succeeded, Leopard, 10.5.8. The output of the port command is:

expat @2.0.1_0 (active) libiconv @1.13_0 (active) Xft2 @2.1.14_0 (active) xorg-libXext @1.1.1_0 (active)

I did not choose any "qualifiers" for a particular variant. I think the command line is my tool – and an option to save some disk space!

I never chose any variant when I started to install xorg-server-devel and all packages it depends on. It must have been Porticus opening that "chooser" which made my make that mistake – for the last time.
