gnutar 1.19_0 build failure in Leopard: duplicate symbol _argp_fmtstream_write

[marcus@…]

I'm not sure if port specific issues are posted here. Hopefully this can get routed to the proper spot. I'm not able to build gnutar on MacPorts, this wouldn't be a problem but Leopard's tar does not recognize the --exclude flag.

Here is what I'm running:

Running MacPorts 1.520 Mac OS X 10.5.1

gnutar relies on the following two ports, here are the versions I have installed

{{{ $ port installed | grep gettext

gettext @0.16.1_0 (active)

}}}

{{{ $ port installed | grep libiconv

libiconv @1.11_6 (active)

}}}

and here is the results of trying to install

FYI: You can use port installed gettext instead of resorting to (the much slower) port installed | grep gettext.

If you're still on MacPorts 1.5.2, you should update to 1.6.0. Also, you should update to gettext 0.17 and libiconv 1.12.

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade libiconv
sudo port upgrade gettext
sudo port -f uninstall gettext @0.16.1_0 
sudo port -f uninstall libiconv @1.11_6

Then try again. However, I don't believe it will help. I see this problem was already reported to the developers of gnutar last month, and seems to be a problem specific to Leopard.

Seems to be fixed in 1.20, in any case.
