pango is being installed from source as a dependency of gnuplot on a brand new core i9 MBP running Big Sur with XQuartz and XCode already installed. The pango logfile is attached.

Thanks,

ALERT: VIRUS DETECTED

Thanks to Ryan Schmidt and Evan Miller for pointing me to ticket #63410; it didn't come up when I searched for existing tickets re: pango on Big Sur. The fix described for #63410 using pango-devel worked with gnuplot,

One caveat, though:

Symantec detected virus infections (Bloodhound.Exploit.377 and Bloodhound.Exploit.530) in the tarball for harfbuzz-devel @2.9.0_0. Once it popped up on my desktop I saw that Symantec also detected the same infections in harfbuzz-2.8.2_0, which had been installed previously for pango. No infection was reported for the pango-devel tarball (or any of the other macports I've installed as part of setting up this new machine).

No idea how serious this is, but Symantec said it was unable to "fix" the infection. I went ahead and ran

root@pn2035335 ~ # port clean --all harfbuzz

to delete the dist files, but am wondering just how safe the binary libraries are. At least Symantec has stopped reporting anything since installation finished and the dist files and temporaries were cleaned. I'm running a full scan now anyway.

Thanks everyone,

-Chris
