It builds fine for me on Mavericks. But all three buildbots (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion) also failed to build rcs just now, with the same error that you have in your log. It looks to me like it's having problems with a texinfo file. But on my system it builds fine whether or not I have the texinfo port installed. When I don't, I assume it uses /usr/bin/makeinfo instead.

A new version of rcs is out. I'll try updating the port to that version and see what happens.

r112953 seems to have fixed this, either by updating to 5.9.1 or by removing the autoreconf step: it now builds on the buildbots.

I still have the same failure. Attempting to install rcs 5.9.1 still installs 5.8.2 and fails the same way I reported. What I tried is:

$ sudo port selfupdate
$ sudo port clean all
$ sudo port install rcs <-- this installs 5.8.2 and fails.
$ sudo port install rcs @5.9.1 <-- thsi still installs 5.8.2 and fails.

Am I missing something here?

MacPorts does not support specifying a version at install time; you'll always get the single version that is available.

Sounds like you haven't run "sudo port selfupdate" since I committed the fix.
