Ghostscript fails to build on Snow Leopard (again)

[davidw@…]

This appears to be a re-ccurance of bug20935 I have also had this error. The initial error message was:

The machine with the problem has been upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6 and MacPorts-1.8.0-10.6-SnowLeopard.dmg installed

of the jpeg library. This is required for compiling ghostscript. Please download a copy of the source, e.g. from ​http://www.ijg.org/, unpack it at the top level of the gs source tree, and rename the directory to 'jpeg'.

Further examination shows that there are 3 _local directories that contain the jpeg libpng and zlib files that are required

Symlinking as follows:

ln -s jpeg_local/ jpeg ln -s libpng_local/ libpng ln -s zlib_local/ zlib

This proceeds for much longer before producing the error:

port install ghostscript

I have attached a debug build however doing a port clean removes the symlinks so the debug is immediately after the above steps
