Thanks for updating the port.
After selfupdate, the build failed but the log file mentioned missing “help2man”. After “sudo port install help2man” and “sudo port install zile” again, the zile build carried on and succeeded and the executable works.
(There doesn’t appear to be a zile log file after the build succeed.)
It appears that the zile port is missing a dependency on help2man. Should I create a ticket?
