libsvm update fails

[dershow]

I had libsvm 2.86_0 installed. I tried updated to 2.87 and got the following errors:

Suggestions appreciated.

It builds fine here. Can you provide some of your setup details? OS? Xcode version?

[dershow]

Sure: MacBook Pro OS 10.5.5 Xcode 3.1

I tried deactivating the 2.86. Then a clean and a build, and it worked this time.

So this worked fine:

sudo port deactivate libsvm
sudo port clean --all libsvm
sudo port install libsvm

So something from the prior version was getting in the way of the upgrade. Did you do a clean build or an upgrade?

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

I did a clean build because I did not have it installed before.

It looks like it could have been the Tcl env bug since this looks like an env var could have been empty:

Command output: Wall -Wconversion -O3 -fPIC -c svm.cpp

Considering a clean/build then got it to work, that's the usual workaround for this issue.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

I'm gonna close this one. Please re-open it if you think this is a bug with the port.

[febeling@…]

I did a test of the upgrade from 2.86 to 2.87, and it worked as well. I agree that this ticket should be closed.
