Comment(by nitin0301@…):

 Hi,

 I've tried installing kate for several time in last few days. I am getting
 the following error:

 --->  Computing dependencies for kate
 --->  Dependencies to be installed: kdelibs4 soprano libiodbc raptor2
 redland rasqal mhash strigi ffmpeg XviD dirac cppunit lame libogg libsdl
 libtheora libvorbis libvpx yasm openjpeg jbigkit lcms2 schroedinger orc
 speex texi2html x264 virtuoso gawk oxygen-icons
 --->  Building libiodbc
 Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed (see log
 for details)
 Error: Failed to install libiodbc
 Log for libiodbc is at:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_libiodbc/libiodbc/main.log
 Error: The following dependencies were not installed: kdelibs4 soprano
 libiodbc raptor2 redland rasqal mhash strigi ffmpeg XviD dirac cppunit
 lame libogg libsdl libtheora libvorbis libvpx yasm openjpeg jbigkit lcms2
 schroedinger orc speex texi2html x264 virtuoso gawk oxygen-icons
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

 This indeed shows that the error is in the installation of "libiodbc". I
 am sorry but my less than normal understanding of linux system limits my
 understanding of the solution reported here. Do i need to
 install/uninstall/clean/edit some specific files? If yes, then how shall i
 do it? Where can I find this? Or do i need to uninstall something and try
 doing the installation of kate again?

 Thanks.

 Nitin

 > u_short is declared in <sys/types.h>, which is included by iodbc.h,
 which is included by all the other files that use u_short—except for
 unicode.h.
 >
 > After fixing that, the build fails with:
 >
 > {{{
 > make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../iodbcadm/libiodbcadm.la', needed
 by `iodbcadm-gtk'.  Stop.
 > make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
 > }}}
 >
 > Retrying a few more times without cleaning eventually succeeds, which
 means this is a parallel build failure; turning off parallel building lets
 the build succeed from the beginning.
 >
 > Fixed both issues in r91539. Verified the build now succeeds on Snow
 Leopard x86_64 and Leopard i386.
