Why don't you have /usr/share/libtool/config.guess on your system?
It should be there.
We had one report of this before, for a different port I think
(there are many that employ the technique of copying that file) but
I don't think we ever found out why the user was missing that file.
Here we go. The problem was reported for libnet:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13334
And for cdrtools on the mailing list. In this message of that thread,
I listed all the ports that employ this technique:
http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-November/
007087.html
However, I still don't understand why the technique doesn't work, or
rather, why that file is missing on some users' systems. Any insight
would be appreciated.
