MacPorts gtk2-extras Fix

Recently when I tried to install the gtk2-extra port using MacPorts I kept getting an error related to /usr/share/automake-1.6/config.guess not existing. After a couple hours poking around trying to find a fix, I decided to take some initiative and fix it for myself.

Here are the steps that I used to fix this.

  • Download automake-1.6
  • Extract the archive
  • Compile and install. "./configure; make; sudo make install"
  • Symlink the installed automake-1.6 to the MacPorts directory. "sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/automake-1.6/ /usr/share/automake-1.6"
  • Install the gtk2-extra package like you would: "sudo port install gtk2-extra"
