rtf2latex2eUnix-1.0fc1 Configure error - build failure

[bjax (Bruce Jackson)]

I am unable to build the port for rtf2latex2e under Mac OS 10.5.5 (only OS tried) on an Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook; it appears to be a configuration error.

bash-3.2$ sudo port install rtf2latex2e

I don't think I have an installation problem with MacPorts, having used it successfully in previous weeks, but this might be related to my inability to use rsync (behind corporate firewall). I use svn instead to get the bleeding-edge MacPort source.

Looks like a platform statement is needed for i386 as well (the configure scripts are quite old now). Also, this uses the now-deprecated cd command in the Portfile. Attaching a patch to fix those issues.

The rtf2latex2e build failure on Intel Macs is a duplicate of #15720 which Bryan fixed in r43442.

The use of the cd command in the portfile was fixed by Juan in r40658.
