This looks like your lipo command is not the correct one for your operating system. See comment:ticket:23343:14 and comment:ticket:24825:3.

No ar and ranlib seems ok. but removing recent/librecent.a from the link on the line above lets it compile to the end and seems to work.

so using:

/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link /usr/bin/gcc-4.2  -O2 -arch x86_64 -arch i386 -L/opt/local/lib -arch x86_64 -arch i386 -o libgtkgs.la   Ggv-common.lo Ggv-stubs.lo Ggv-skels.lo gtkgs.lo ps.lo ggvutils.lo gsdefaults.lo gsio.lo ggv-msg-window.lo ggv-prefs.lo ggv-prefs-ui.lo gtkchecklist.lo cursors.lo -L/opt/local/lib -lgnomeui-2 -lSM -lICE -lbonoboui-2 -lgnomevfs-2 -lgnomecanvas-2 -lgnome-2 -lpopt -lbonobo-2 -lbonobo-activation -lORBit-2 -lart_lgpl_2 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lXext -lXrender -lXinerama -lXi -lXrandr -lXcursor -lXcomposite -lXdamage -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lgio-2.0 -lXfixes -lcairo -lX11 -lpango-1.0 -lm -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lpng14 -lgconf-2 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl   -lpopt  -L/opt/local/lib -lX11  -L/opt/local/lib -lgnomeui-2 -lSM -lICE -lbonoboui-2 -lgnomevfs-2 -lgnomecanvas-2 -lgnome-2 -lpopt -lbonobo-2 -lbonobo-activation -lORBit-2 -lart_lgpl_2 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lXext -lXrender -lXinerama -lXi -lXrandr -lXcursor -lXcomposite -lXdamage -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lgio-2.0 -lXfixes -lcairo -lX11 -lpango-1.0 -lm -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lpng14 -lgconf-2 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl   -lpopt  -L/opt/local/lib -lX11

instead of:

Lets it compile to the end and everything looks to work after that.

Oh lipo looks ok to. Works as expected on other files.

I take it back, I get the same error on my system.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Apparently it's trying to put an archive inside another archive, and ranlib doesn't support that.

This software appears to be dead upstream since 2005, and even the long_description suggests it is obsolete. We should probably just remove it.

[smithsp (Sterling Smith)]

I second the opinion that this port should be removed. I just installed it fine, but was getting errors when trying to run it:

I'm not sure if this needs to be raised in a separate ticket...

I ran into this issue with another port that I was working on, and removing the --disable-dependency-tracking flag from configure.universal_args and then switching to the muniversal PortGroup allowed it to build correctly. I think the issue is more with putting a fat archive inside another archive, rather than just trying to put any old archive inside another archive.
