This is a problem with Xaw3d, not xfig. I do not have /usr/X11R6/
include/X11/Xaw3d/AllWidgets.h on my system, but you apparently
do. Perhaps you had MacPorts installed before, had Xaw3d installed
with it before, you removed MacPorts, and then reinstalled
MacPorts, and now it's finding bits that were left behind? Or
perhaps you had Xaw3d installed before without MacPorts which it's
now colliding with? Either way, you could probably safely force
the install of Xaw3d to get it to overwrite any files it finds:
sudo port -nf install Xaw3d
I tried this and xfig then installs fine, but I now get the same
problem as reported earlier:
http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-April/
002746.html
and:
http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-June/
003917.html
In the same thread it is suggested to build xfig without Xaw3d.
Is this a good idea? If so, can someone tell me how to do that or
add some explanantion to:
You should find out which configure flag for building xfig is
required to disable the use of Xaw3d (is xfig using configure or
still imake/xmkmf?) and add it to configure-args.append.
This sounds like a matter for the maintainer of the xfig port, whom
I'm Cc'ing on this email.
