gv does not download, does not compile

[vlado@…]

First, when I attempted to install the gv port, the download failed:

I managed to download manually (using wget) from the first address, though. Having put the file in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/gv the compilation started, but it failed with the following output:

This was on Mac OS 10.5.1 (PPC).

I just noticed there already is a bug covering the build problem. Sorry for the duplicate post! ​http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/13095

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Yes, the build failure seems to be a duplicate of #13095.

The fetch failure I'm unable to reproduce:

$ sudo port install gv
--->  Fetching gv
--->  Attempting to fetch gv-3.5.8.tar.gz from ftp://ftpthep.physik.uni-mainz.de/pub/gv/unix/
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for gv
--->  Extracting gv
--->  Applying patches to gv
--->  Configuring gv
--->  Building gv with target all
--->  Staging gv into destroot
--->  Installing gv 3.5.8_3
--->  Activating gv 3.5.8_3
--->  Cleaning gv
$

Maybe they had a temporary server issue. (I'm able to install it, too, because I'm on Tiger, not Leopard.)
