[Digikam-users] digiKam 4.0.0 hanging after checking "ICC repository" in OSX 10.10

[Will Monroe]

Giles,

I realize this is probably the wrong forum to ask about this but when I 
attempted to install the dependency below:

sudo port -v install kdelibs4 +debug

I got this error:

Error: org.macports.archivefetch for port py27-cairo returned: cairo 
must be installed with +x11 and without +quartz.

After adjusting /etc/macports/variants.conf with the recommended 
changes, I tried again and it failed.  Have you seen errors like this?  
If so, do you have any advice?  I begin with a completely clean install 
of macports so this was a surprise.

Will
