geomview: sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence

[bcbarnes@…]

This seems possibly related to: #29037 but I'm not sure. It's a different error message for the same part of the build.

After raphael quickly fixed my previous geomview ticket (thanks!), I now encounter this:

OS X 10.8.1, XCode 4.4.1, latest command line tools and macports, etc. Sorry for the weird double-spacing. For some reason, when I have normal newlines in safari in my description textbox, they do not carry over to the ticket preview. I have to doublespace lines to get any newlines at all. Bleh.

This just looks like the standard error you get on Mountain Lion when you use sed on a file that is not UTF-8 that we've been patching in many other ports already. We probably just need to set LANG=C somewhere.

Note that port list does not do what you think it does.

Replying to bcbarnes@…:

Please use WikiFormatting and quote your logs with {{{ and }}}.

As Ryan said, this is a problem with sed on Mountain Lion. As I don't have Mountain Lion, please tell me if the following commands work for you.

port clean geomview
port install geomview build.env="LANG=C"

[bcbarnes@…]

The build.env flag allows the build to complete, thanks.
