cairo 1.8.8 doesn't build

[mail@…]

Upgraded to Snow Leopard, MacPorts 1.8.0 and uninstalled all my old ports and started over. However, I can't build cairo

It works fine for me on Snow Leopard. To better understand what's happening on your system, can you please clean cairo and try again with debug output?

sudo port clean cairo
sudo port -d install cairo 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/cairo.txt

Then attach cairo.txt from your desktop to this ticket.

You might even consider running sudo port clean all to avoid this problem on other ports.

Cleaning and installing fixed it for me. Thanks!
