From the main.log:

configure: error: some requested system libraries failed

From the config.log:

configure:19830: checking requested system `libpaper' library
configure:19845: /usr/bin/clang -o conftest -pipe -Os -arch x86_64  -isystem/Volumes/Data/macports/lion/include -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names -arch x86_64 conftest.c -lpaper  >&5
ld: library not found for -lpaper
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

This old version of clang does not honor the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, and this compiler invocation is missing the -L${prefix}/lib flag.

Can we just blacklist this clang version? Do you recall which versions were affected?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

We seem to be missing Xcode 4.4 info from XcodeVersionInfo but IIRC Xcode 4.4's clang fixed it.

It would be preferable to add the missing -L flag, rather than make the user install a whole new compiler.

That was easier than I was expecting it to be. :)

Me too!
