"no such file or directory" with updated postgis staging into destroot

[Jeff Stubbs]

Hi All,

I'm running into a little problem building the latest version of  
postgis (1.3.1). Created the necessary portfile  in my local  
repository, and ran portindex.
The latest version in MP is 1.2.1 and requires a patchfile. The patch  
has not been rolled into the 1.3.1 version, so I left the directive  
in my local port file. After the attempting to "port install" it  
several times (and uninstall & cleaning), I decided to step through  
the install phases. The fetch, checksum, extract & patch stages went  
without a hitch.

Below are the results of the next few stages:

AFTER "sudo port -dt configure postgis" results in this:

There seem to be a couple of undeclared dependencies and warnings  
through out the build process, but nothing to stop the install in  
it's tracks till the destroot stage.

Being a relative nu-bee, I'll sure take any hints anyone has to offer.

Thanks,

Jeff
