That happens because qt4-mac links against a library that isn't there anymore or in an incompatible version.

Upgrade or install with --no-rev-upgrade: sudo port $verb --no-rev-upgrade $portlist Alternatively, change revupgrade_mode in macports.conf to report. > 2.

Yes, -f would allow you to do that. Note that if this were a global problem with qt4-mac, a lot more people would be seeing it, so it's likely that you'd also see the problem with an older version of qt4-mac. Additionally, it is possible that qt4-mac is actually broken in this state and cannot be used, so we should really try to figure out what went wrong for you here. -- Clemens _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
