 Hello,

 I am unable to build cppunit (a dependency for ffmpeg) on my system.  I
 get an error:

 grep: /usr/lib/system/libmathCommon.la: No such file or directory
 sed: /usr/lib/system/libmathCommon.la: No such file or directory
 libtool: link: `/usr/lib/system/libmathCommon.la' is not a valid libtool
 archive

 I understand that this is related to the absence of *.la files on Snow
 Leopard, but I have not been able to find any workarounds or fixes to this
 problem.  I have attempted uninstalling / cleaning / selfupdate /
 reinstalling, but no luck.  I have also attempted to reinstall macports
 wholly (mv /opt/local /opt/local-2010.05.31, then re-installing from
 macports.org) but also had no luck.

 This appears to be a general issue affecting macports on Snow Leopard.  I
 also saw similar errors trying to compile the macports version of libtool,
 for example.

 Are there any workaround for this problem?
