 Hi, on a fresh install of macports 2.3.3 following upgrade to Yosemite
 (10.10.1), Ghostscript was failing to build/install (but I found a
 workaround).

 This appears to be a different problem from this other similar ticket
 #46332 on examination of the log files.

 My output was...
 {{{
 $ sudo port clean ghostscript
 --->  Cleaning ghostscript
 $
 $
 $ sudo port install -d ghostscript
 --->  Computing dependencies for ghostscript
 --->  Fetching archive for ghostscript

 To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
     http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
 Error: Processing of port ghostscript failed
 }}}

 The main.log is attached; of interest was:
 {{{
 :info:configure aclocal: error: aclocal: file
 '/opt/local/share/aclocal/wxwin.m4' does not exist
 :info:configure autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
 }}}

 Since wxwin.m4 is part of wxWidgets, I tried installing wxWidgets-3.0
 manually. Then I tried again to install ghostscript and it worked just
 fine! So I guess that means ghostscript needs wxWidgets-3.0 but it isn't
 identified as a dependency in the ports tree.

 I can replicate the failure by uninstalling ghostscript and wxWidgets-3.0,
 then trying to re-install ghostscript.

 Cheers
