I get an error that's a little different:

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

weird... it builds fine for me on all my machines... I wonder if it's a parallel build issue... ?

If you try building it with "buildmakejobs 1" in $prefix/etc/macports.conf, does it install correctly?

[skymoo (Adam Mercer)]

Odd, it build now. port_cutleaves removed gnome-doc-utils and trying now (before setting buildmakejobs to 1) it builds. Maybe it doesn't like having an older version installed?

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

The failure point doesn't make me think that's the case since it's not a linking issue and the backtrace shows it's not using the installed version of xml2po ... so my hunch is still the same that it's a parallelization issue.

[accolon@…]

I got the same error as jmr ("struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 4"). Setting buildmakejobs to 1 solved it for me.
