[cairo] install failure

[Dan Ventura]

I'm not sure this is the forum for this, but I can't find anything online to
help me.  I'm trying to install cairo on my MacBook Pro (running OS X
10.5.5) using MacPorts.  The install fails at two points, with the build
output looking like this:
--->  Configuring cairo
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell
command " cd

I tried running the ./config by hand and got a funny permissions error in a
couple of lines of the config.log file.  Not sure what is going on there,
but since I sudo'd the port install, I don't know how I could have
permissions trouble.   Anybody ever see anything like this or have any
suggestions?


Thanks,

Dan
