Please "sudo port clean graphviz" and try again, and attach the full main.log if it still fails. Graphviz builds fine for me.

Still no go

[mndavidoff (Monte Davidoff)]

Problem seems to have been introduced by automake 1.11.2 (r88312).

[mndavidoff (Monte Davidoff)]

Cc Me!

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Thanks, I see now.

As a workaround, you can use the graphviz-devel port, which is a newer (development) version of Graphviz and does not have this problem.

r88362.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Fixed same problem in gvedit and gvedit-devel in r88433.

Reported problem to developers in ​upstream bug 2179.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Has duplicate #32847.
