The jpeg library installed is:

libjpeg.8.dylib

I do not see a port for:

libjpeg.7.dylib

Please remember to cc the maintainer. Attach the full log.

Clean first; that log starts with everything up to the configure phase and part of the build phase already done.

[trog24@…]

Inventor installed. Activities between failure and success were:

sudo port unistall inventor
sudo port upgrade installed
sudo port uninstall xorg-libs
sudo port upgrade installed
sudo port clean inventor
sudo port -d install inventor

One of the transactions prior to:

sudo port -d install inventor

must have made it possible to install inventor.

I think the jpeg library changed, so there was probably an out-of-sync dependency somewhere. To confirm, a fully updated ports tree works for you?

[trog24@…]

Yes, you can close the report on not building; but, I wonder why the missing library was designated as:

libjpeg.7.dylib

when that library still does not exist and

libjpeg.8.dylib

did and does exist.

One of the dependent libraries must have linked with the older jpeg library, and it wasn't updated after the new jpeg library. Or maybe you had a partial build?
