Description

I just installed MacPorts 1.6.0 and XQuartz 2.3.1 on a new machine. MacPort had no issue installing libtool on two other machines about a week ago.

[ : ~ ] sudo port install libtool

This is actually a problem installing expat. I'm assigning the ticket to that port's maintainer.

This looks like an Xcode problem. What version do you have installed? Make sure you have the latest version installed which is currently 3.1.1 for Leopard (which you appear to have).

Turns out I didn't have Xcode properly installed. Downloaded 3.1.1, installed, ran

sudo port install expat

and it worked.

Sorry to trouble you! Go ahead and close the ticket out.
