Comment:

 Replying to [comment:1 chrstphrchvz]:
 > I don't know what exactly is causing the error. There's a test in
 Makefile.PL that checks for Tcl/Tk and certain Tk extensions by running
 tclsh with a script test-for-tk.tcl, but for some reason, Perl never gets
 any output from tclsh when run from MacPorts, whereas I can run
 Makefile.PL manually and it will work.

 MacPorts runs as the `macports` user. This user does not have permission
 to access the X server, which is apparently what test-for-tk.tcl does by
 attempting to include the Tk package:

 {{{
 $ sudo -u macports /opt/local/bin/tclsh
 % package require Tk
 couldn't connect to display
 "/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.CYqUDJ8ts9/org.macports:0"
 %
 }}}
