readline does not provide /opt/local/lib/libreadline.dylib

[thomas@…]

Here's what I get when trying to install mysql5:

% sudo port install -d mysql5                                                                                                                                                                                           1

The dependencies of mysql5 are :

Library Dependencies: zlib, openssl, readline

However libreadline.dylib is not installed by the "readline" port:

% port contents readline                                                                                                                                                                                                0

Actually the readline port is completely broken, here's the files it installs:

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin      21 25 jui 15:46 /opt/local/lib/libreadline.5.0.dylib -> libreadline.6.1.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin      21 25 jui 15:46 /opt/local/lib/libreadline.5.1.dylib -> libreadline.6.1.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin      21 25 jui 15:46 /opt/local/lib/libreadline.5.2.dylib -> libreadline.6.1.dylib
-rw-r--r--  2 root  admin  387008 25 jui 15:46 /opt/local/lib/libreadline.a

libreadline6.1.dylib is missing!

In the future, please fill in the port field and Cc the maintainer(s).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I agree your readline installation is broken. It certainly should be installing libreadline.dylib, libreadline.6.1.dylib, etc. Have you tried rebuilding readline?

sudo port -n upgrade --force readline

[thomas@…]

Of course. It didn't change anything.

x86_64 on 10.6?

[thomas@…]

Yes.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Give this a wing:

sudo port clean --all readline
sudo port destroot readline
ls `port work readline`/destroot/opt/local/lib

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Cc Me!

[thomas@…]

ls -la `port work readline`/destroot/opt/local/lib

libreadline6.1.dylib is missing...

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

That is so peculiar. Before you do a clean (from that destroot) can you attach the log file? It should be at /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_readline/main.log

[thomas@…]

Thanks, according to the log make failed because of some hacks I had on my machine. Entirely my fault. You can close, sorry for the noise.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Alrighty.
