[chmitchell@…]

Upgrade Fails (main.log) even though I do have autoconf installed (version 2.68b)

Thanks for the ticket. In the future, please try to CC any port maintainers.

Could you try running sudo port clean ruby19 && sudo port install ruby19? If that still fails, please attach main.log and config.log.

(config.log will be located in the extracted directory under the one given by port work ruby19.)

fixed at r101775. let to run autoconf before configure +universal.

try sudo port sync && sudo port upgrade ruby19.

configure script requires to generated by autoconf 2.63 or older for +universal. but configure of p374 was generated autoconf-2.61. this version was older than past releases of ruby-1.9.3.

• p0-p327: 2.68
• p363, p374: 2.61

I've reported this problem to the ruby-list and requested to use newer autoconf.
