Cannot install DOSBOX for the architecture(s) i386 because its dependency libsdl_net only contains the architecture(s) x86_64.

[toweroffunk@…]

This doesn't make much sense because I have a 64 bit processor. I ran

sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants libsdl_net +universal

like it said, but that didn't help. I also did not have MacPorts installed before I upgraded to Snow Leopard, so I know that isn't an issue.

I attached the complete debug log output.

Replying to toweroffunk@…:

That's the problem, dosbox apparently only builds 32-bit. Hence all the dependencies have to be built universal i386/x86_64 rather than the default x86_64 only.

Use the following command to verify that your libsdl_net does in fact contain the i386 architecture:

lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libSDL_net.dylib

If it only contains the x86_64 architecture, you have not rebuilt it universal.

If it does contain the i386 architecture, perhaps you have another copy of libsdl_net somewhere that is not i386 that is being found first and interfering. Do you have one in /usr/local perhaps, or in /sw? If so, move them out of the way first.

Were you able to resolve this issue? Can we close this ticket?

Yes, thanks for your help. :)
