zshdb fails to configure during install

[carlofdtam (Carlo Tambuatco)]

The following error occurs when configuring zshdb:

configure: error: You might want to retry with another zsh using the --with-zsh option.
Command failed:  cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_zshdb/zshdb/work/zshdb-0.92" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local

I think I'm having the same problem here:

I guess the real problem is that for some reason the version of zsh that's installed via MacPorts isn't compatible with this version of zshdb for some reason:

:info:configure checking Checking whether /opt/local/bin/zsh is compatible with zshdb... Looks like you don't have funcfiletrace.
:info:configure We need a zsh new enough which has that.
:info:configure no dice :-(
:info:configure configure: error: You might want to retry with another zsh using the --with-zsh option.

Anyone have any idea of what's going on? Again, I'm running the MacPorts zsh:

$ zsh --version
zsh 5.7.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin18.2.0)

$ port info zsh
zsh @5.7.1 (shells)
Variants:             universal
...

$ port search zsh
zsh @5.7.1 (shells)
    The Z shell

zshdb @0.92 (devel)
    GDB-like debugger for zsh scripts.

Hmm... It seems like our zshdb version was a bit old, I updated it in 9540aae9517fc42946581b3d020050b42559360c and it installs correctly for me! Let me know it the update solves it for you, too :)
