Hmm, builds OK here, need the full log. Maybe you need to remove py36-cairo? You could easily be right, so I'll try deleting py36 and see whether that helps. I can't make head nor tail of the freebsd Make system, so I'm useless for trying to debug anything. It's so much more complex than makefiles were in the '70s that the whole thing might as well be written in Linear A as far as I'm concerned. er, I meant py36-cairo, not py36 (In reply to fidhleir99 from comment #2) Did deleting py36-cairo help? No, it just broke further up. And when I chased it, eventually everything seemed broken. So I did a global update of the packages, and that produced different problems, including leaving me unable to log into mariadb and having constant complaints about xfce surface. At which point, having other things pressing on me, I gave up on it and decided to write a plot utility in postscript, which is what I'm doing this morning. Since the last time I wrote anything in ps was about 35 years ago, you can imagine the fun I'm having. It would have been nice had the maintainer built pspp with the plot function included, but that he didn't is just a small part of a much more general problem that seems to be slowly making freebsd irrelevant. PSPP has just been upgraded to the latest release. If the problem persists please reopen a new PR. |
