kde4-kile installation problems on Lion: okular - poppler dependencies

[Nicolas Pavillon]

Hello,

> Error: Failed to install okular"

As said in previous mails, all dependencies must be installed with +qt4 +quartz variants in order to work, with the qt4-mac version to my knowledge. 

> 2) Tried to install Poppler with +qt4 option give the following error

I am not absolutely sure, but I would think that you have some dependencies were installed without the +qt4 +quartz variants, thus installing other dependencies which are now conflicting with the required variant of poppler. I do not have the specific ports, but I attached to the mail the output of the command
port-rdeps -r kde4-kile
which lists all the dependencies of the port kde4-kile, which works on my install.

This is true, but some paths are quite tricky to set with kile, and the present port is supposed to set these in order to have a working install with okular right out of the box. Furthermore, using a program like preview.app prevents you to use various features for synchronization between your tex files and the pdf output (forward and backward sync). 

Hope this helps, 

Nicolas
