Ok, so according to "port info gnumeric", this would have installed gnumeric 1.8.4 for you.

This directory has nothing to do with MacPorts. Perhaps you put this there before? To see what MacPorts installed and where, use "port contents gnumeric".

The log says libgoffice 0.8 could not be found, which could be either because it is not installed, or because the configure script could not find it. I see our goffice port is only for version 0.6.6, so it seems to be the former reason.

So, I wouldn't worry about this. I'd delete the gnumeric-1.10.1 folder and get back to using the gnumeric 1.8.4 that MacPorts installed for you.

We should probably upgrade our gnumeric port to 1.10.x, and would in the process logically have to upgrade our goffice port to 0.8.x. The request for the goffice update is already filed here:

I filed a ticket for the gnumeric update request here:
