 Replying to [comment:8 Veence]:
 > The LAS support has been removed in SAGA.

 I'm not sure about that. The configure script is still checking for
 `LAS_GetVersion` in -llas (and not finding it), so ''some'' liblas support
 is still in there.

 I found [https://sourceforge.net/p/saga-
 gis/discussion/354013/thread/d9dbdf27/?limit=25 this discussion] stating
 that saga only supports liblas 1.2. Here is [https://sourceforge.net/p
 /saga-gis/discussion/790705/thread/d31b1536/?limit=25 another discussion]
 saying the same thing. We have liblas 1.8.1+ in MacPorts so that probably
 explains why saga is unable to find the (presumably obsolete) symbol it's
 looking for.

 The saga port still declares a dependency on the liblas port. I suggest
 removing the liblas dependency. Also, please add configure arguments or
 whatever else is necessary to prevent the configure script from attempting
 to access liblas files even if it is installed.
