I have plenty of ports installed with +universal, but glitz is complaining:

$ sudo port install glitz +universal
Error: Error executing universal: Default universal variant only works with ports based on configure
Error: Unable to execute port: Error evaluating variants


But glitz _is_ based on configure. It's a perfectly normal, simple port.

Debug output shows it's actually complaining about the XFree86 dependency:


$ sudo port -dv install glitz +universal
Password:

But I'm not even using XFree86; I'm using Apple's X11 quite happily.

I tried "sudo port -n install glitz +universal" to try to Not follow dependencies, but it makes no difference.

How do I get around this and install glitz +universal?
