MacOS – MacPort – jslint fails to install due to incompatible spidermonkey installation

Problem Description in Brief:
I am trying to install jslint which depends on the spidermonkey macport. Installation of spidermonkey is successful, however, it appears to be incompatible with the installation of jslint. Consequently, jslint is not installed.

Problem Description in Detail:
When I tried to install jslint, it successfully installed its dependency, spidermonkey, however, failed to install jslint. Below is the error message that was returned, which I copied and pasted from the log that was produced.

    /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_jslint/jslint/main.log

This is a problem that has been reported to the MacPorts project, however, closed due to it being 'invalid'. See the following link.

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/37053

So, my question is, how do I go about installing spidermonkey with the +fileobject variant in order to install and use jslint? Furthermore, is there a way to configure macports so I don't have to do this each time I try to upgrade my macports?

Any advice/suggestions on how to resolve this would be appreciated.
