I broke something: Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed (see log for details)

If I want to install something new I get an error:

Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed (see log for details)
Error: Failed to install expat

Here is the main.log ​http://nopaste.info/5ac1e198ea.html

I don't know what I did wrong. I uninstalled port and all files, reinstalled it and got the same error. Any idea? THANKS

The log says the problem is that 'ranlib' doesn't like the '-q' argument.

It looks like you have a rogue 'ranlib' that is causing the problem. I would guess it's in /usr/local (and unfortunately the expat configure script is finding it)

Replying to dluke@…:

If I type: ranlib. I get this:

*** Warning: inferring the mode of operation is deprecated.
*** Future versions of Libtool will require --mode=MODE be specified.
ranlib: warning: cannot infer operation mode without MODE-ARGS
ranlib: you must specify a MODE

This reminds me, I played around with Libtool. Maybe there is something broken

If I want to reinstall "port install libtool" i get again:

which ranlib

If you replaced or broke the system ranlib (/usr/bin/ranlib) you'll need to restore it from backup (or your Mac OS X Install DVD).

[rossinie@…]

sh-3.2# ranlib --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.24 (1.1220.2.455 2007/06/24 02:13:29)

Copyright (C) 2007  Free Software Foundation, Inc.

ranlib is a symlink to libtool

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

/usr/bin/libtool on Mac OS X is not GNU libtool (the Mac OS X/NeXT libtool actually predates GNU libtool).

Looks like you replaced Mac OS X libtool with GNU libtool, though.

You'll need to restore the correct Mac OS X libtool from backup or from your OS install media.
