In the future please remember to use WikiFormatting.

Please try again:

$ sudo port clean xastir
$ sudo port install xastir

and attach the log file if it fails. The console output is pretty useless to find out what went wrong.

[joe@…]

sorry, have never used wiki formatting before, i will try to get it right. :)

Attaching log as it is lengthy, but the end-meat is this:

Updated to version 2.0.4 in r105102 which fixes the build issue. Binary packages are now available as well.

[joe@…]

Hi, since I am kinda new at this, is there a howto you can point me to on how to apply the patches and build, or get the binary that fixes this? Thanks! :) -jre

Just clean xastir, do a selfupdate, and try installing again.
