Warning, deluge doesn't build anymore on Lion.
With Macports 2.0.0 rc1 (release candidate for Lion) the package has a conflict with libnotify, so right now it is broken.
If you upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion, previously built deluge should still work, but
you won't be able to install/build it from scratch.
Here is a ticket to follow the issue :

Any news on getting this to work with lion?

The macports packages has been updated 4 days ago and looks like working, but there might be some issues :

Actually to be clear it is NOT working on Lion unless you perform a dangerous (I don't exactly know why, but the MacPorts developers do) workaround to get libnotify working. The workaround is located here:
https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk ... y/Portfile. If you look in the commented out section you will see the correct commands to perform to get deluge running.
# This port installs ${prefix}/lib/libnotify.dylib which gets
# picked up at link time instead of /usr/lib/system/libnotify.dylib
# leading to many build failures across MacPorts when it is installed.
#
# Because of this, we block installation in fetch and activate.
#
# ***DANGEROUS*** WORKAROUND
# There is a workaround for this issue which is recomended for *expert* users.
# Implementing this workaround and being lazy about it can (read: most likely
# *will*) result in a completely horked system after a software update.
#
# If do not follow this advise exactly, and your system becomes non-booting,
# shame on you for not listening to me.

#
# You have been warned.
#

#

#
# To work around this issue (make sure this is really necessary before doing it):
# sudo cp /usr/lib/system/libnotify.dylib /usr/lib/system/libsystem_notify.dylib

I suppose you could just temporarily perform this workaround and then switch back after deluge has been built. I may give that a shot.
But to be clear, the one step command to compile Deluge is NOT working on Lion because of the libnotify dependency as of 2011-09-14.

My bad, I thought that was fixed, I did another workaround for libnotify a long time ago that I just forgot.
As the packager writed and that you quoted :
# This port installs ${prefix}/lib/libnotify.dylib which gets
# picked up at link time instead of /usr/lib/system/libnotify.dylib
# leading to many build failures across MacPorts when it is installed.
The interesting part:
"leading to many build failures across MacPorts" :
Because of not using many macports packages (using brew when possible), and in general not many packages using libnotify (I guess deluge is the only one)
I just commented that check and installed libnotify in ${prefix}/lib/libnotify.dylib ...
The proposed workaround by the packager is just horribly dangerous and I prefer to take the risk that "maybe" some day have a macports (or other) corrupted package than a computer that doesn't boot anymore.
Just my 2 cents.
The best solution I guess would be to remove libnotify since I doubt it will ever work on OSX (via growl maybe), but I have no idea if deluge can be built without.
Someone (me?
) should try and propose a macports package fix (with maybe a libnotify variant)

Yes, I too believe the best option is to remove libnotify as a dependency. I don't think it's more important than actually having the damn thing build. In any case, I was tempted to stay up late and I actually temporarily performed the workaround and was able to install Deluge. After a nervously long boot time, my system popped up and Deluge worked! This is the first time I've had a MacPorts Deluge install work for me. So assuming that the libnotify package was useless on OS X anyway, I reversed the workaround and reinitialized the system libnotify and to my great pleasure Deluge still runs natively on my compy.
So I guess it is safe to follow that workaround but do the reverse steps immediately after Deluge has been built in order to stay on the safe side.
Cheers,

I was also digging around a bit more about the libnotify dependency. After looking at the Deluge portfile I found that Deluge does not require libnotify per se, but rather it is Deluge's requirement of py26-notify-python which requires libnotify. Do we really need this? Something for the portfile people to determine.

On the first post it says
"EDIT : 1.3.3 / Lion : Looks like deluge 1.3.3 macports package (and its dependencies) has been recently fixed, the following procedure should be working! (when writing this on 11/09/11)"
But the last posts on this thread suggest its not working.. Pretty confusing for a new user if you ask me.
I've never tried macports before but I've followed every guide to a T after hours of installing it always ends in:
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
I've even tried it without installing libnotify but it won't work. Here's the error messages from my last attempt:

I'm not a python developer, but from what I can see (grep/ack) in deluge code:
Code: Select all
try:
import pynotify
except:
log.warning("pynotify is not installed")
else: ...
So I think I can say that deluge will degrade gracefully without libnotify/py26-python-notify, just some warnings.
Just uninstalled these, and rebuilt deluge, no problem:
Code: Select all
port uninstall py26-notify-python libnotify
Just delete dependency line from port:

Just delete/move that file or try command suggested by port and try again!
