Ok, interesting, it built libxslt correctly this time. Perhaps you had an incomplete MacPorts build attempt of libxslt on your drive from a long time ago (from a prior computer? from a prior version of Mac OS X?)

Ok, now we're having a possibly similar problem with xrender. I again can't tell exactly what's wrong because this is not the complete debug output. The last lines of output aren't the interesting ones; the interesting ones are often hundreds or thousands of lines back in the log, that's why I ask for the full log.

It could be the same issue as with libxslt -- that you somehow have an old partial build of xrender around. Rather than solve it for xrender and leave open the possibility of encountering this for yet another port down the road, let's clean *every* port just to make sure:

sudo port clean all

This will take some minutes but ensure *everything* is cleaned up. Then try installing again -- with the debug switch, just in case it fails again so you can supply the full output. Here's the command I recommend:

sudo port -d install libxslt 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/libxslt.txt

This captures both stdout and stderr to the file libxslt.txt on your desktop, and you still get to see it on your screen while it's running.


Another possibility (besides interference from a partial build from an old machine) is that a dependency of xrender is not built for the right architecture; in this case that would have to be xorg-libX11. A common reason for this is if you upgraded to Snow Leopard, or migrated a pre-Snow Leopard machine's data to a Snow Leopard machine using Migration Assistant, and you were previously using MacPorts, and you didn't reinstall all your ports after upgrading. If that sounds likely, see the Migration page for instructions:
