kdkenlive fails to configure

[Chris Jones]

Hi,

I suggest then taking a look at http://trac.macports.org/ to see if your problem is already reported, and if not file a bug report of your own. Reporting errors on this list is not really the way of letting the appropriate devs know.

cheers Chris

I do understand the maintainers have a lot on their plates, and also that kdenlive is to be released with a new version. I look forward to that and hope it may prove to get my foot in the door on this platform.

No need for the rant below, it doesn't help. Those maintaining the kde4 ports (I'm not one) are doing a great job really.

I have tried everything from installing MacPorts using subversion, source, and currently the .dmg package after cleaning, etc... . I have even tried to install using a local port but portindex fails in parsing the Portfile created according to the directions found in the MacPorts Guide section 4.6.

So what is so great about a Mac that it won't install this software so that any user doesn't have to practically become a hacker just to get to install and be able to run it? A pretty, pretty interface just doesn't make up for functionality in the end, IMO.
