MacPorts won't install in 10.6.

[brian.postow@…]

When I try to install from the install package, the installed binary says:

Brians-mini$ sudo ./port -d selfupdate
can't find package Pextlib 1.0
    while executing
"package require Pextlib 1.0"
    (file "./port" line 40)

When I try to compile from source, the make works fine, but the make install says:

.

.

/usr/bin/tclsh src/dep_map_clean.tcl /Library/Tcl

    (file "src/dep_map_clean.tcl" line 10)
make: *** [install] Error 1

is this a bug? or am I doing something wrong? thanks.

Did you upgrade to 10.6 and already had MacPorts installed? If so, see the Migration page (the DMG to install MacPorts can be found on the ​install page).

[brian.postow@…]

No, I've never used MacPorts before.

Version: 1.7.1? If that's accurate, that's your problem. Snow Leopard needs 1.8.

I was initially using the pkg version, which is 1.7, and the released tarball which is 1.7. I just tried the 1.8.beta tarball and still get:

Ok, Added information: When I run make on 1.8 beta, I get:

warning: error while loading MacPorts.dylib: dlopen(./MacPorts.dylib, 10): no suitable image found.  Did find:

I run make again, not doing anything else and get:

warning: error while loading Pextlib.dylib: dlopen(./Pextlib.dylib, 10): no suitable image found.  Did find:

3rd time and get

warning: error while loading registry.dylib: dlopen(./registry.dylib, 10): no suitable image found.  Did find:

4th time it actually compiles!

I sudo make install and get:

I run make install from src, and it runs. I run make install then from the macports dir, and it still fails.

Why the beta and not the final release? And how did you even install the 10.5 pkg on 10.6? Could you attach a full log of a fresh attempt to build 1.8.0 from source? And while you're at it, what's the output of

ls -l `which gcc`

The package to download on the site is 1.7. And I don't see a tarball of a 1.8 final release. The only 1.8 I see is in the testing section and listed as 1.MacPorts-1.8.0-beta1

Could you attach a full log of a fresh attempt to build 1.8.0 from source? And while you're at it, what's the output of

ls -l `which gcc`

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7 Sep 9 14:44 /usr/bin/gcc@ -> gcc-4.0

does it need 4.2? I set it to 4.0 because some other programs (The things that I'm going to compile with the libraries that I download with macports) will needto be run on 10.4 machines... I can swap back and forth if needed, I guess.

log is attached.

[brian.postow@…]

compilation log.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

I don't know if you're seeing a stale cached copy or what, but ​http://www.macports.org/install.php has definitely featured version 1.8.0 for a couple weeks now.

I don't know if using gcc 4.0 could be responsible for the problem you're seeing, but I'd definitely recommend using 4.2 since it's the default for the platform and is what we built the 10.6 pkg with.

[tobypeterson]

"config.status: src/config.h is unchanged" indicates that it wasn't a clean build, anyway.

[brian.postow@…]

ok. Umm, for some reason I was looking at DarwinPorts and not MacPorts? Did the name change between 1.7 and 1.8?

This version seems to work. thanks!

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Ugh. That domain squatter again. As the page you apparently inadvertently wiki-linked to explains, we've been called MacPorts since 2006...
