 have discovered another of the surprising ways in which this can fail. I
 haven't looked into it but off the top of my head I'm not sure why this is
 happening or how it might be corrected, short of either not using trace
 mode or removing the symlink and moving /Volumes/PEluard/opt/local back to
 /opt/local.

 The trace mode was at the request of mascguy (Christopher Nielsen) earlier
 in the thread... The symlink has been working ok, in the past there were
 some breaks but I have straightened out most of the issues at this point.
 I don't think this is the problem. @mascguy (Christopher Nielsen): GIMP2
 was working before, I didn't even know that gexiv2 existed. What really
 changed between gexiv2 0.14.2 and gexiv2 0.14.3 ?? I looked for a copy of
 gexiv2 0.14.2 to reinstall so I can get GIMP2.10.38 working again but I
 didn't come up with anything. Am I the only one having this issue??
