Comment(by helpdesk@…):

 > Good to hear that you can build transfig in a non-default location! So
 basically you could not reproduce our problem? Did you try the same prefix
 that we tried ("/phil/sw/macports/i386")? I'll try to to a fresh install
 in another non-default location to see if this changes anything.

 Hi, I just tested a new MacPorts install and used "/testlocation" as a
 prefix:
 {{{
 ./configure --prefix=/testlocation
 make && make install
 /testlocation/bin/port selfupdate
 /testlocation/bin/port install transfig
 }}}

 This works! So the problem we experience with "/phil/sw/macports/i386" is
 not a general "does not work with a custom path" error, but a more
 specific problem. I'll try compile with some more custom paths to see if I
 can reproduce the problem with specific elements in the path.
