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.

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This software appears to be dead upstream since 2005, and even the long_description suggests it is obsolete.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.
