srecord-1.63

[alinp@…]

Hi...I'm trying my had at updating the port for srecord to be current (v 1.63) and I'm running into a strange issue. I get a failure running MacPorts for an install operation when I run:

'''$ sudo port -d install srecord'''

the error I get is :

...
make: Entering directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_alinp_MacPorts_devel_srecord/srecord/work/srecord-1.63'
libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c bin/srec_cat /opt/local/bin/srec_cat

Exit code: 2
Error: org.macports.destroot for port srecord returned: command execution failed

    invoked from within
"command_exec destroot"
    (procedure "portdestroot::destroot_main" line 2)
    invoked from within
"$procedure $targetname"

but if I run the offending command on the command line as follows:

$ sudo /usr/bin/install -c bin/.libs/srec_cat /opt/local/bin/srec_cat

it all works fine. Why would I get an error like this when running the port command but I don't when I run at the command line? Sorry if this is a dumb question...I really did look everywhere I could think of for an answer before posting this.

Thanks!
