This is the kind of thing you see when the build process tries to create a GUI window and you don't have a GUI session. So on any headless server, or when you're ssh'd in. We've seen this happen with Java ports that use AWT (where the solution is to use -Djava.awt.headless=true). The only real solution, AFAIK, is "don't do that", or handle the failure gracefully. No idea why Lion alone would be unaffected. - Josh _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
