*port output is attached.*

And the detailed output from running /usr/bin/make -j2 -w all manually

port main.log for subversion build on 10.7 lion.

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

Here's your problem:

:info:build libtool: link: `/opt/local/lib/libintl.la' is not a valid libtool archive

That should be provided by the gettext port, so you will probably be able to fix things by doing:

sudo port -f uninstall gettext
sudo port clean --all gettext
sudo port install gettext
sudo port clean subversion
sudo port install subversion

Thanks, that did the trick.

For anyone else stuck with a similar issue, I had to do a few more steps before the problem was resolved:

# Add --follow-dependencies or Gettext won't install properly
sudo port -f --follow-dependencies uninstall gettext
sudo port clean --all gettext
sudo port install gettext
# ... re-install whatever dependencies from gettext you want (eg: gsed, gawk)
sudo port clean subversion
sudo port install subversion
