Comment:

 Thanks for reporting this. I used to produce
 [http://www.ryandesign.com/graphviz/ standalone binary packages of
 Graphviz for OS X], made with a custom build system, before I was very
 involved with MacPorts. I stopped doing that five years ago, but during
 the lifetime of that project, I remember discovering that Graphviz needed
 libtool's libltdl and adding that dependency to my build. And in MacPorts
 there's even a patch in the graphviz port relating to libltdl. So I'm
 quite surprised this dependency was missing from the ports. I guess we
 missed it before because libtool is in the dependency chain as a build
 dependency, and libtool is also a very common port to already have
 installed. Fixed in r98535.
