Cannot install 'gail' < libgnomecanvas < gnucash

[Paul Henegan]

Hello

Mac OS X 10.4.10, MBP 3,1 (mid-June 2007 model), X-Code 2.4.1,  
freshly installed and updated macsport.

While attempting to install gnucash, I have run into a dead end with  
one of its dependencies, libgnomecanvas.

"
$ sudo port -c install gnucash
<snip>
checking for LIBGNOMECANVAS... configure: error: Package requirements  
(  gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.3   gail >= 1.9.0   libart-2.0 >= 2.3.8   pango >=  
1.0.1   pangoft2 >= 1.0.1) were not met:

No package 'gail' found
"

I tried the following solution with no joy:

"
$ sudo port -f install gail
--->  Configuring libgnomecanvas

<snipping error messages confirming the viability of the environment>

No package 'gail' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables  
LIBGNOMECANVAS_CFLAGS
and LIBGNOMECANVAS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.


Error: The following dependencies failed to build: libgnomecanvas
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
".

Note that 'port' did not even attempt to fetch 'gail' before "--->   
Configuring libgnomecanvas", even though

"
$ port search gail
gail                           gnome/gail     1.20.0       An  
implementation of the ATK interfaces for GTK+ widgets.
libgail-gnome                  gnome/libgail-gnome 1.1.3        An  
implementation of the ATK interfaces for GNOME widgets.
".

Where do I go from here?

TIA,

paul
