I was looking for similar problems (#35580) but: XCode runs well (I can compile C applications) and I have installed Command Line Tools.

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

Could you attach the config.log it mentions?

[mkk@…]

Stupid thing... Now it works... Maybe after rebooting it's OK, have no idea, but I have done "clear" for ntfs-3g. I don't understand it. Where can I find this config.log?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

The config.log would be a subdir or two under the location shown by port work ntfs-3g.

[frank_bla1@…]

I can double this. I've just reinstalled my MBP from scratch, then installed xcode, including command line tools and MacPorts 2.1.2. So i started from a completely blank MacPorts instance and just did a "port install ntfs-3g". It then installed:

fuse4x                         @0.9.2          fuse/fuse4x
fuse4x-kext                    @0.9.2          fuse/fuse4x-kext
libiconv                       @1.14           textproc/libiconv
pkgconfig                      @0.27.1         devel/pkgconfig

and while installing ntfs-3g, the above error occured. After some fiddling around, I tried "port install autoconf" - which added the following stuff (which is pretty much, for the single purpose of mounting some ntfs disks :-( ).

autoconf                       @2.69           devel/autoconf
expat                          @2.1.0          textproc/expat

gdbm                           @1.10           databases/gdbm

perl5.12                       @5.12.4         lang/perl5.12
pkgconfig                      @0.27.1         devel/pkgconfig

But now you can see ntfs-3g is successfully installed.

"autoconf" is mentioned as a dependency for fuse4x in the ports list on the macports homepage. I don't know if this (and the other dependencies) are really needed for ntfs-3g.

Hopefully someone could sort this out?

Thanks, Frank

Ok, after I found

​http://fernandoff.posterous.com/ntfs-3g-20120115-binary-installer

I could boil it down to

expat                          @2.1.0          textproc/expat
fuse4x                         @0.9.2          fuse/fuse4x
fuse4x-kext                    @0.9.2          fuse/fuse4x-kext
gettext                        @0.18.2         devel/gettext
libiconv                       @1.14           textproc/libiconv
ncurses                        @5.9            devel/ncurses
ntfs-3g                        @2012.1.15      fuse/ntfs-3g
pkgconfig                      @0.27.1         devel/pkgconfig

The config.log - reported a missing -lintl. This seems to be delivered with "gettext" which is part of the "autoconf" dependencies.

[mkk@…]

I've just installed installed MacPorts on new MacBook. I can confirm that installing ntfs-3g produces the same error as before and installing "gettext" solves it.
