I think the proper fix had to do with making sure the library is named on the link line (e.g. making sure "-lzlib" is specified in LDFLAGS). But that would involve editing the Portfile or maybe the Makefile, and a simpler fix is to just go into /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk and make a symlink "opt" there pointing to /opt, like this:

Great!

> So I'm very thankful. Supposing you are belonging to the MacPorts developers, I propose to integrate this in a way into the port or to give in the presentation/specification of this port (perhaps also others) this advice, too (to prevent other users of MacOS10.4 to get the frustration).

So we don't forget, I have filed a bug report for this problem:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23584

Hopefully in the future I will have time to reproduce this problem on Tiger and work on the proper solution. But please understand that users of Tiger will encounter increasing frustration with MacPorts as time goes on, as port maintainers and software developers test with Tiger less and less frequently because it is years out of date now. If possible, please upgrade to Snow Leopard. I'm glad I did.

This is:

I have filed a ticket for this problem so that we can fix it:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23583

In the mean time, install the gtk-doc port to work around it.
