Happens iff gperf is installed with the latest changes.

Hi. How can I use this change? I am trying "upgrade outdated", but still getting this error. I've upgraded from Tiger (10.4) to Leopard (10.5).

Thank you. Best.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

You need to selfupdate first.

sudo port selfupdate

When you upgraded the OS, did you follow the migration instructions?

[larrynator@…]

I'm new to OSX and to MacPorts. I had this problem. I've done selfupdate and upgrade outdated, but still get the same error when trying to install xorg-xcb-util. I'm on Snow Leopard. Are there any other steps I need to do?

Hi, I had the same issu. I managed to solve it by going to the xorg-xcb-util dir and getting it to rebuild atom.c from the gperf souyrce ( touch atom.gperf ) It looks like although the patch fixes the double static, the datestamps of the files on the port seem to mean it doesnt rebuild this intermediate product.

I had deleted the port then reinstalled it before I did this.

sudo port -v clean xorg-xcb-util

[allanjos@…]

Hi. The step that I didn't was the Migration (​https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration). I've reinstalled MacPorts for Leopard.

Now all the things are working again.

Thank you very much. Best.

Clean did the trick. Thanks, Jeremy, slowly learning my way through it all.
