Why did you install an old version of Macports? Where did you get that from? You should update to version 1.8.2. Please run the following:

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated
sudo port clean alpine
sudo port install alpine

Per the ticket entry, I did run port selfupdate after the install so I was at 1.8.2 before the installs. As noted, I also did the upgrade outdated and the clean. I re-ran the commands you suggested. And the result:

The proximate cause appears to be that the link command is missing -lintl.

Also happens on 10.6.3 on inte 64-bit +universal. See debug output attached to #24212

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Was also ​reported on the mailing list.

alpine builds fine for me on Snow Leopard x86_64; I'll also test Leopard ppc. Russell, the difference between your output in #24212 and mine is that I have the gss port installed. Can you try installing gss, cleaning alpine and trying again to install alpine?

sudo port install gss
sudo port clean alpine
sudo port install alpine

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Also, I am able to reproduce the error on Snow Leopard if I deactivate gss before trying to install alpine.

So I think the solution will be to add a dependency on gss to alpine.

[nhruby@…]

For me on 10.6.3, even after installing gss, trying to build alpine fails with the same error.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Then could you please clean and try again with the debug switch:

sudo port clean alpine
sudo port -d install alpine 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/alpine-nhruby.txt
bzip2 ~/Desktop/alpine-nhruby.txt

Then attach the file alpine-nhruby.txt.bz2 from your desktop to this ticket so we can have a look.

[Russell-Jones-OxPhys (Russell Jones)]

Just realised I had a local portfile for alpine. Trying again.

[aeevr@…]

Just tried to install alpine for the very first time today, so I have no old installations hanging around. Have the same

Undefined symbols: "_libintl_setlocale" error. I cleaned and uninstalled alpine, installed gss, reinstalled alpine. Again this compilation error.

This with a brand spanking new MacBook 7,1 running Mac OS X 10.6.3.

Changed

EXTRALDFLAGS="${configure.universal_ldflags}"

to

EXTRALDFLAGS="${configure.universal_ldflags} -lintl"

in the Portfile but that didn't work.

[applestore@…]

I had the same problem building alpine. I was not trying to build "universal" but it looks like maybe this might help that problem too. It started after I upgraded to macports 1.0.0 and did port upgrade installed. I do not know what version I was on previously but the alpine port was the only one to fail. I got the error with or without gss installed, but I needed it for something else so it was installed when I did the following change.

I changed the Portfile to read like this (Added the part in bold):

variant without_tcl description {Disable TCL support (disables Alpine Web)} {

configure.args-append --without-tcl

build.args-append EXTRALDFLAGS="-lintl" }

After this, I was able to install alpine and it works fine. Not sure if this info is useful, I don't know a lot about this stuff, but this was how I fixed it at least temporarily.

[aeevr@…]

applestore, Thanks! I edited the Portfile as per your instructions and install with the +without_tcl variant flag and it compiles. Copied my .pinerc from my work machine so now I don't have to ssh anymore to check my email. You're awesome!

I meant macports 1.9.0. Sorry :)

[helgeg@…]

I had the same problem building alpine on my machine, and the workaround made it compile nicely. Thanks for providing it!

For other newbies wondering where the portfile to be edited is located, it can be found at:

/opt/local/var/macpoarts/sources/rsync.macports.org/release7port/mail/alpine/Portfile

[helgeg@…]

Ooops,

/opt/local/var/macpoarts/sources/rsync.macports.org/release7port/mail/alpine/Portfile

should read:

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to helgeg@…:

/opt/local/var/macpoarts/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/port/mail/alpine/Portfile

The simpler way to learn this path is to type "port file Portfile". You can edit the Portfile by typing "port edit Portfile".

I should proofread before I post. I meant "port file alpine" and "port edit alpine".

[helgeg@…]

Duh! I should have known there was a more straightforward way to edit the portfile. Thanks for the heads-up, and for not throwing an RTFM at me :-)

[todmorrison (Tod Morrison)]

Sorry I haven't jumped on this, I've been busy with other priorities. Also, I haven't used alpine in a while since I started using 're-alpine' (a fork/successor to alpine) and now use neither. I've just submitted a Portfile (and patches) for 're-alpine' (see Ticket #25428) that solves the 'libintl' problem and would encourage alpine fans to consider switching to that port since it has a much cleaner build process (the only real difference) and should be much easier to maintain.

Additionally, since I no longer use either alpine or re-alpine, I cannot effectively maintain either and would be happy to see someone new take over maintenance of either or both ports.

[todmorrison (Tod Morrison)]

The attached Portfile diff and patch should solve this problem...

[todmorrison (Tod Morrison)]

patch to fix "libintl" problems

[schnide (Joe Schnide)]

As someone that is not a programmer, what needs to happen to use the files you uploaded and get a working installation of alpine? Also, I also do not see 're-alpine' you mentioned in the list of ports.

root# port search re-alpine
No match for re-alpine found

root# port install re-alpine
Error: Port re-alpine not found

Please let me know if I can provide further information.

[todmorrison (Tod Morrison)]

Ticket #25657 has a patch for the alpine Portfile that should fix this problem (as well as #25603 and #25161).

[schnide (Joe Schnide)]

What do I do with the 2 files? I looked over the FAQ and didn't find anything related to what to do with the patch files. Do I need to use both files? If I missed something in the FAQ or docs, I'd appreciate if you could point me to the information. I have a temporary work-around as I downloaded and installed the re-alpine-2.0.1.dmg and it is working fine.

[todmorrison (Tod Morrison)]

You have two real options:

1) Copy 'patch-alpine-Makefile.in.diff' into the '/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/mail/alpine/files' directory, and patch '/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/mail/alpine/Portfile' with 'alpine-Portfile.diff'. Then port install alpine. Using this option is ok for a one-shot, but the changes will get undone when you do a 'port selfupdate' or 'sync'.

2) Similar to step one, but in your own local ports directory (see ​http://guide.macports.org/#development.local-repositories).

Otherwise, hopefully the fixes will get committed sometime soon....

[schnide (Joe Schnide)]

I believe I did everything correctly and checked the Portfile after the patch and things did get changed to match your diff file changes. I also copied the patch-alpine-Makefile.in.diff I am still getting errors and attached the error log. It appears now to be openssl related. The openssl error I was getting with nmap no longer happens and nmap installed fine. I've found a way to get what I need done with the dmg so this is not that important and I do appreciate you doing all this when you are no longer the maintainer. It can be closed if you would like. Thanks for all the efforts.

[todmorrison (Tod Morrison)]

Looks like you've got the older patch rather than the one from Ticket #25657 that also fixes the SSL problems. I've attached the latest to this ticket as well. You'll need to reverse the previous patch (or just recopy from the main macports dir) and apply this one.

I did a port , port -d selfupdate, clean --all alpine and a port uninstall alpine followed by a port -d install alpine. The install failed. As an aside, the install worked fine on 2 different Intel macs but did not work on the PPC mac. I have attached the port -d install alpine output.

[todmorrison (Tod Morrison)]

Looks like the problem is actually that the older version of gcc on the PPC is picky about the order of libraries, while the newer versions are not. I'm attaching a new patch and Portfile diff to force "-lcrypto" to appear after libpith.a...

This should fix this problem.

[schnide (Joe Schnide)]

I am still not able to get it to build. I'll work on it some more when I have a chance. Ok to close.

[schnide (Joe Schnide)]

I did the port -d selfupdate and checked the files. I then did a port -d install alpine. The results are attached.

[todmorrison (Tod Morrison)]

I'm not really going to be able to debug this, but the first place to start is to do:

nm /opt/local/lib/libcrypto.dylib | grep _BIO_method

and make sure it's not a problem with your openssl installation...

[someuser12]

FWIW: I have the same problem as jschnide, but on an Intel iMac (with Mac OS X 10.5.8): linking of the alpine binary fails with the message

I don't understand the problem since, following your suggestion:

 000709b0 T _BIO_method_type

~ root# nm /opt/local/lib/libcrypto.dylib | grep _BIO_method

What should be the next step?

I confirm that re-alpine 2.01 (for which a Portfile was submitted in #25428) does not have the compilation problem of alpine above.

Sorry, maybe I was too elliptic. I meant: I compiled with success re-alpine on an Intel iMac running Mac OS 10.5.8, without the problem with the alpine port which ends up with Undefined symbols: "_BIO_method_type". This sounds like a progress to me since I was not able to build alpine with MacPorts for several weeks, even on an Intel iMac.

Therefore, I gave up finding the cause of the problem with the alpine port and am now using the re-alpine port. (Furthermore, the authors of re-alpine claim they have corrected several bugs in alpine 2.00 and made enhancements).

Unfortunately, I have no PPC mac running Mac OS 10.5 at hand, so that I can't try compiling re-alpine on it.

[mklein-de (Michael Klein)]

The link command above fails because -L/usr/lib preceeds -L/opt/local/lib on the command line, so the linker pulls libcrypto from /usr/lib instead of /opt/local/lib.
