Description (last modified by n3npq@…)
snow leopard 10.6.8 Xcode: 3.2.6 (1761)
There proper "fix" here is rather not obvious:
rpm-4.4.9 was released 4+ years ago and has no upgrade path and no future whatsoever.
So the best fix imho is to retire rpm-4.4.9 and use rpm-5.2.1 instead.
If you disagree, then its easy enough to either stub-in the symbol, or #if 0 the code, since MacPorts uses Mach-O, not ELF. If there really is someone who relies on rpm+elf on MacPorts, then rpm-5.2.1 (released several years ago) is a far better solution than repairing rpm-4.4.9.
I can likely figure a "fix" for rpm-4.4.9 in a couple of minutes if there really is interest in rpm-4.4.9 functioning in MacPorts in spite of what I've just said.
Which solution do you wish (and asked generally of MacPorts as well as specifically of the bug reporter)?
