 Hello,

 I need to compile petsc with the option --with-shared-libraries=1. I
 modified the port on my machine, creating a new  variant:

 variant shared description {build with shared libraries} {
     configure.args-delete   --with-shared-libraries=0
     configure.args-delete   --with-pic=fPIC
     configure.args-append   --with-shared-libraries=1
 }

 I have to delete --with-pic=fPIC, otherwise it does not run. Then, it
 configures and builds fine, but when macports checks on the created files,
 it complains, and restarts the whole process (and does it over and over
 again):

 It says:

 --->  Updating database of binaries: 100.0%
 --->  Scanning binaries for linking errors: 100.0%
 --->  Found 3 broken file(s), matching files to ports
 --->  Found 1 broken port(s), determining rebuild order

 I did run

 port install --no-rev-upgrade petsc +variant

 so that it installs it and stops without checking what's wrong. Compiling
 goes fine.

 I then did run

 port -d -y rev-upgrade

 to see the problem, and I have this:

 DEBUG: Marking /opt/local/lib/petsc/lib/libparmetis.dylib as broken

 DEBUG: Marking /opt/local/lib/petsc/lib/libpetsc.dylib as broken

 To further investigate the problem, I tried:

 otools -L /opt/local/lib/petsc/libpetsc.dylib
 that says this file does not exists:
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_math_petsc/petsc/work/destroot/opt/local/lib/petsc/lib/libpetsc.dylib

 There is no
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_math_petsc/
 directory, indeed.

 I am kind of stuck there. I am probably doing things wrong, but I guess
 also there is a linking problem somewhere.
 Thank you for the help
 Romain
