Comment:

 I'm unable to reproduce the problem on two MacBooks Pro, one running Mac
 OS X 10.5.4 with Xcode 3.1 and one running Mac OS X 10.4.11 with Xcode
 2.5. On both, mjpegtools 1.6.2_2 installs without error. What version of
 Mac OS X, Xcode and MacPorts do you have, and on what kind of Mac? What
 ports are already installed?

 I see a number of problems in the line just above the error:

  1. mjpegtools is looking for libraries in /usr/local/lib. Do you have any
 libraries in /usr/local/lib? If so you should remove them before using
 MacPorts.
  2. mjpegtools is linking with /opt/local/lib/libdv.dylib. I don't have
 that on my system and I don't know what port provides it. Can you show us
 the output of "`port provides /opt/local/lib/libdv.dylib`" please?
  3. mjpegtools is linking with /opt/local/lib/libglib.dylib which is
 provided by glib1 but mjpegtools doesn't declare a dependency on glib1.
  4. mjpegtools is linking with /opt/local/lib/libSDL.dylib which is
 provided by libsdl but mjpegtools doesn't declare a dependency on libsdl.

 mjpegtools should either declare dependencies on all the libraries it
 links with, or configure arguments should be added to force mjpegtools not
 to link with those libraries if they're present.
