Xft2 @2.3.1 +universal build failure

[billmerkel@…]

Computer literate newbie here. Programmed back in the day from Assembly to Pascal/Fortran and early C. During "Building Xft2" I get the following in terminal:

--->  Building Xft2
Error: org.macports.build for port Xft2 returned: command execution failed
Error: Failed to install Xft2
Please see the log file for port Xft2 for details:

Looking at the log file for port Xft2 using Textedit and starting where the first warning occurs:

I got past an earlier crash in the build but this one has me stumped.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Please attach the complete main.log and show the output of these commands:

port -v installed xorg-libX11 xorg-libXau xorg-libXdmcp
lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libX11.dylib /opt/local/lib/libXau.dylib /opt/local/lib/libXdmcp.dylib

Please provide information about your system: CPU architecture, OS version, Xcode version. Are you using the universal variant?

[billmerkel@…]

Mac OS X version 10.7.5 running on 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, just installed Xcode today from the App store. Had an earlier (3 years ago?) version prior. I do not know how to tell if I am using a universal variant.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Have you installed the current Command Line Tools in Xcode's preferences?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

After you ensure your Command Line Tools are OK, please follow FAQ.

[billmerkel@…]

Command Line Tools were installed in Xcode preferences before installation was attempted. Will Follow the FAQ now.

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

It looks like you're trying to build Xft2 as i386 but its dependencies are all x86_64.

[billmerkel@…]

How do I configure the correct dependencies?

Results of: sudo port selfupdate

--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync

--->  MacPorts base is already the latest version


The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
  port upgrade outdated

I did not run port upgrade outdated as that is step 3.

I will wait your advise regarding errors before attempt to install again.

Thank you for the assistance!

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Please use wiki-formatting. Your comments are difficult to read because of that.

The last comment has nothing to do with the original topic, and the error message tells you what to do:

/opt/local/bin/a2p is being used by the active perl5.8 port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate perl5' to force the activation.

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Ie, you need to deactivate the perl5.8 port.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I have corrected the WikiFormatting in the preceding comments.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

The perl problem is covered in ProblemHotlist. It looks like you hadn't selfupdated for quite some time.
