Error: Processing of port ghostscript failed

trying to install port munin, failed when install dependency ghostscript. I try this command manualy cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_print_ghostscript/ghostscript/work/ghostscript-9.16" && autoreconf -fv , it's ok I try to reinstall ghostscript: port clean --all ghostscript port -d install ghostscript, same issue

I guess a port:m4 dependency needs to be added. As a workaround for now, you can manually install the m4 port.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Thank's for the answer. m4 is already installed, but I install it via macports (port install m4) I try to reinstall ghostscript but I have the same mistake.

What version of OS X are you using?

What version of Xcode?

What version is /usr/bin/m4? You can find out by running:

/usr/bin/m4 --version

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Sorry, now I see in the log it's OS X 10.10. On my 10.10 system, /usr/bin/m4 is version 1.4.6, which should satisfy autom4te's needs.

[stephane.jublin@…]

Xcode version is 6.1.1

m4 version is 1.4.6

I've no explication but, it works.

I did a lot of things, every day, (port clean, port selfupdate, port upgrade outdated,...), change sudo command by connecting root, check xcode-select,... try and looking for a solution every day and this morning it's works.

The only difference, port find an update of xorg-kbproto, first time the update failed, i need to install xmlto and fop.

After that, I test port clean ghostscript, port selfupdate, port install ghostscript and there was no error.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ok, I don't know what fixed it either but I'm glad you got it working.
