It looks like adding --with-bundled-t1lib=yes to configure.args solves the problem, see the attached Portfile

I attached the diff file. This just instructs grace to use the bundled t1lib.

comment:6 Changed 8 years ago by mf2k (Frank Schima)

Maybe adding a dependency on Macports t1lib would work instead?

xmgrace runs fine for me without any t1lib.

comment:7 Changed 8 years ago by GiovanniBussi (Giovanni)

If you install xmgrace on a system where t1lib is present without specifying --with-bundled-t1lib=yes, then xmgrace is going to link to the available t1lib.

The problem that I experienced was that t1lib on macports make xmgrace crash. I guess this is due to a bug in t1lib.

The following solutions were proposed: ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/47122 uninstall t1lib, then install grace ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45582 install grace +universal

I think that making xmgrace explicitly ignore a possibly installed t1lib is a cleaner solution.
