Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

When I try to upgrade my macports to the current version (2.0.1) I get an error on the upgrade. I've waited a couple weeks to see if it would get fixed, but it hasn't. I'm not much good at chasing this kind of thing down, so I'm submitting this ticket. The attached file contains the printout to the terminal for the following command:

sudo port -v selfupdate

Thanks for any help you can give.

Your Mono.framework in /Library/Frameworks is interfering with the macports build. Moving it aside should work to get the upgrade built. As an alternative, you could download the appropriate macports package from the website and install it to get 2.0.1.

We should probably fix base so it doesn't try to link with sqlite3 from a random framework...

From a quick look at our aclocal.m4, it looks like we look for sqlite3 like this:

  1. From a configure arg (--with-sqlite3prefix) if set
  2. Otherwise use pkg-config
  3. otherwise assume it's in the default include/lib search path(s)

I'm guessing that this means the Mono.framework a couple of people have noticed problems with is registering sqlite with pkg-config (maybe?). Perhaps we should switch the order of things so that second we look for sqlite3 in a default location (and use it) and fall back on pkg-config.

It's totally unsupported to install third party programs in /usr/bin of course.

I haven't thoroughly tested that patch, but it should have our configure look for sqlite3.h in the normal search path first (and use that) and only fall back to asking pkg-config if AC_CHECK_HEADER doesn't find it.

The existing behavior of being able to set --with-sqlite3prefix to override this should also still work.

See https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1154 on the Mono bugtracker, where this is being tracked. Since this does not only affect MacPorts it really should be fixed by Mono.
