Possible bug compiling and installing Expat?

[Dan Sullivan]

Hello,

This is my first post to this list, sorry if I'm not doing things
appropriately here.  My original intention was to submit a bug to bugzilla
as per the instructions on http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/help/, however
when I actually get to the point where I'd be posting on Bugzilla
http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/enter_bug.cgi, there is no section for
Darwinports, so... Here's my question and problem.

Basically I'm running 10.4 on a Macbook pro.  When I first started using
ports and playing around I hosed my TCL/TK install (this is a long story),
but I think it's working fine now (I ended up uninstalling it and
reinstalling it from sources, ports, etc, basically tried a lot of stuff to
get it working and finally did).  I honestly know very little about the way
compilers, makefiles, etc, work, so I'm not sure if I'm even reporting a bug
or just asking a stupid question.

Anyways, Darwin ports works lovely  except for when I try to install the
expat port. I've ran selfupdate and sync, and all of my ports aside from
nmap are up to date.  I'm tempted to just install expat from the source, but
I don't want the same thing to happen to me when I installed TCL from source
and things blew up.  Below is the output from darwinports when I try to
install expat:

wireless-226-26:~ dansullivan$ sudo port
DarwinPorts 1.320

Because darwinports actually segfaults, I'm a little bit confused if my
problem is with my TCL install, Darwinports install, or with the way the
port is packed itself.  I was hoping that somebody could provide some
insight to my problem here.  Again, I apologize if I'm posting this to the
wrong place or in the wrong manner.  I've searched the mailing lists and
google already and from what I can tell, nobody else has had this problem.

Thanks,

Dan
