Can you run: sudo port -d install redis > redis.log 2>&1 and attach the created redis.log file please.

debug log output of install

[harry.weppner@…]

added log output - doesn't appear to add much new info...

Thanks, Harry.

What model machine are you using and what version of Mac OS X are you using? (Thanks for already saying that it's a PPC that's very helpful)

Replying to brianjlandau@…:

it's a G5 dual 1.8 w/ 10.5.7

Modify line 4304:

#elif defined(APPLE) && !defined(MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_6)

add && defined(i386)

result: #elif defined(APPLE) && !defined(MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_6) && defined(i386)

Cc Me!

I was also experiencing this problem when trying to install the latest MacPorts-supplied Redis version (1.2.1) on a PowerMac G5 running Mac OS X 10.5.8.

Thanks to aigeruth's comment above, though, I was able to fix the problem by changing line 6280 of redis.c from:

#elif defined(__APPLE__) && !defined(MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_6)

to:

#elif defined(__APPLE__) && !defined(MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_6) && defined(__i386__)

I will post a link to this issue to the related bug report (​http://code.google.com/p/redis/issues/detail?id=119) on Google Code.
