In the future, please fill in the Port field and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers ldas-tools-framecpp), if any.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Please attach the main.log so we can see what the error is.

Error is:

:info:configure config.status: creating ldas-tools-framecpp.spec

Your gawk is messed up and needs to be rebuilt.

$ port installed gawk
The following ports are currently installed:
  gawk @4.1.4_3 (active)

$ otool -L /opt/local/bin/gawk
/opt/local/bin/gawk:
	/opt/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current version 10.5.0)
	/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 1349.65.0)
	/opt/local/lib/libreadline.7.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1238.51.1)

Note that gawk now uses libreadline.7.dylib not libreadline.6.dylib.

Thanks; it turned out that although the installed gawk was not 'messed up', it needed to be upgraded. Seems like the gds port should upgrade gawk rather than fail with an inscrutable error message. Most other standard ports will upgrade the ports which it needs to based on dependencies.

Ed: Can you add gawk as a build dependency, or force the use of the system awk?
