Comment (by raimue at macports.org):
This is an error for many ports using autoconf and link against X11, but
only after the upgrade from Tiger to Leopard. The updater leaves
unexpected paths. So who is to blame?
You could file a bug with Apple, but I don't think anything will change in
the Leopard updater (nor will it affect people using older DVDs). As far
as I found the [http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-
autoconf at gnu.org/msg01431.html problem is fixed] in autoconf/automake CVS,
but I expect that it will take another few years to spread a version with
this fix included.
Please understand that we are not going to fix configure scripts for so
many ports as there is a much simpler solution. Just remove these paths
and everything will work fine.
