py25-numpy build error

[nelson.uhan@…]

I get the following error when trying to install py25-numpy:

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Sorry, I don't have more detailed output. I tried commenting out the post-destroot commands, which seemed to do the trick. In the current portfile:

post-destroot {
  move ${destroot}${prefix}/bin/f2py ${destroot}${prefix}/bin/f2py2.5
}

Aha, I have been seeing the same bug. I'll use the suggested solution for now.

The MacPorts installation is not outdated so it was not updated

Works for me:

What platform?

Doesn't look like a "solution" to me (unless I'm missing something), as the install still fails and what does metacity have to do with this numpy issue?

[nelson.uhan@…]

Sorry for omitting that information earlier... Mac OS X 10.5.4, MacPorts 1.6.0.

Tried compiling numpy on a clean install of MacPorts (i.e. delete /opt/local, install MacPorts fresh from dmg), and had no problems this time around.

[nigel@…]

I have an identical problem to the one described in the ticket. ...../opt/local/bin/f2py": no such file or directory OSX 10.5.4 MacPorts 1.6.0 Xcode 3.0 1 week old MacPorts gnucash being installed after a number of other installations including wx

[skymoo (Adam Mercer)]

I cannot reproduce this problem and the OP has said that it now works for him. Please attach the full build log, i.e. the output of

$ sudo port -d install py25-numpy

[redbeard+macport@…]

Result of sudo port -d install py25-numpy

[redbeard+macport@…]

Encountering the same problem -- Mac OS X 10.5.4 (Build 9E17) with MacPorts 1.600, Xcode 3.1 Beta, see attachment above for full log. I will now attempt removing /opt/local and reinstalling MacPorts fresh as suggested above.

To those for whom this is failing, how is fftw-3 installed on your machine (use port installed fftw-3)? The default install of that appears to not require any sort of fortran compiler, so perhaps without one installed, f2py isn't built?

Ignore that, that isn't the issue.

The issue is in numpy/f2py/setup.py, in generate_f2py_py it generates the name for f2py with:

        f2py_exe = 'f2py'+os.path.basename(sys.executable)[6:]

so if python2.5 is being used, 2.5 is appended to it; if just python, no version is appended. Sounds like the post-destroot should check to see if it's already installed as f2py2.5 and if so, do nothing, otherwise rename it.

The big question is why some don't append 2.5? My older version which is currently installed (1.0.4) installed fine, but trying to build 1.1.0 hit this same issue; could be related to the fact that I have an older python25 (2.5.2_2) installed? Or perhaps using python_select, which I don't have installed?

[skymoo (Adam Mercer)]

Thanks for tracking this down, I'll get a patch together

Cc Me!

[skymoo (Adam Mercer)]

I don't understand how this can be causing the problem, as the python binary used in defined in the python25 port group is ${prefix}/bin/python2.5, so the build should never be using just python.

I can't reproduce this problem with python25-2.5.2_5 and py25-numpy-1.1.0_1, with or without python_select installed. Looking through the ChangeLog for the python25 port 2.5.2_3 was when the port was modified to be a Framework build, I think that this problem is due to you using an old python25 port.

Can you ensure you're python25 is up to date and try again?

[skymoo (Adam Mercer)]

There still seems to be a problem somewhere as python interpreter set for f2py is #!/usr/bin/env Python which is clearly wrong.

FYI in my case, a newer python25 (with patches from tickets #9831 and #16111) worked fine, no issues with f2py at all.

[skymoo (Adam Mercer)]

caused by old python25 port

[macports@…]

Is the python25 port updated with the patches from #9831 and #16111 yet?

[skymoo (Adam Mercer)]

Not not, but py25-numpy builds without issue using the latest (2.5.2_5) python25
