trouble installing gettext on Snow leopard

[CelindaVielh@…]

I'm in trouble installing gettext on Snow Leopard:

sudo port -d install gettext +universal

[...]

--->  Configuring gettext
DEBUG: Using compiler 'Mac OS X gcc 4.2'
DEBUG: Executing proc-pre-org.macports.configure-configure-0

and:

bash-3.2$ sudo port installed libiconv
The following ports are currently installed:
  libiconv @1.13_0+universal (active)

I have tried the installation with and without the option +universal, always the same error. I'don't know how to solve this problem. thanks a lot for your help.

Replying to CelindaVielh@…:

Error: You cannot install gettext for the architecture(s) x86_64 i386 because
Error: its dependency libiconv only contains the architecture(s) cputype 16777223 cpusubtype 3.

We appear to have a malfunction in the archcheck portgroup. Could you please send the output of

lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib

and also tell us more about which computer you have? What kind of processor does it have?

[CelindaVielh@…]

It's a MacBook Pro with an Intel core 2 duo running Mac OS 10.6.2

lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib

gives

Architectures in the fat file: /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib are: i386 (cputype (16777223) cpusubtype (3))

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ok, I hadn't anticipated the parenthetical cputype and cpusubtype clause when designing the archcheck portgroup. Looking at the ​lipo source code, it seems that's what it prints when it doesn't know a cputype/cpusubtype combination. I'm not sure why this would occur though. cputype 16777223 is CPU_TYPE_X86_64 and cpusubtype 3 is CPU_SUBTYPE_X86_64_ALL which are ​defined in machine.h and should lead lipo to output the architecture "x86_64". I don't know why it doesn't for you. I'm also unclear why the parentheses are absent in the output MacPorts displayed to you initially; I'm unable to reproduce that here.

Possibilities that come to mind are: do you have the latest developer tools installed? If not, please upgrade to Xcode 3.2.1. If that's not it, then I'd suspect your lipo is not Apple's lipo. What does "which lipo" say?

[CelindaVielh@…]

I have re-installed (upgrade) Xcode 3.2.1 when I had this problem the first time, but it persists

which lipo

gives

/usr/bin/lipo

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Some Googling of "(cputype (16777223) cpusubtype (3))" leads me to wonder if you have a file like /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.10.4.dylib on your machine.

I'm having a very similar problem. I upgraded to Snow Leopard quite a while back, and I'm not sure I've used MacPorts since then, since I've been too sick. However, I tried selfupdating today, got the "can't find package macports" message, installed the latest MacPorts binary (MacPorts-1.8.2-10.6-SnowLeopard.dmg), selfupdated successfully via Porticus, and then tried to update git-core. Here's the complete debug (and yes, I did install XCode with Snow Leopard):

I hope it helps.

[clytie@…]

I checked, and I do not have any file similar to "/usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.10.4.dylib" on my system. There are no "libgcc" files in that directory. This is a mid-2009 MacBook Pro: I upgraded it from Leopard to Snow Leopard, IIRC.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

And did you take a look at the Migration page as the error message says to? When you upgrade to Snow Leopard, you must uninstall and reinstall all ports. But this isn't related to the error originally reported in this ticket, about which I haven't received any further feedback....

[clytie@…]

Yes, I did look at the Migration page, several times. However, I was unsure if, having installed the latest MacPorts binary, and selfupdated successfully, if I needed to go through all that rigmarole. <sigh> Seems like I do...

[clytie@…]

OK, I went through the process, including installing ALL my needed ports again. It works, but it's laborious if you have many ports. Let us hope whatever OSX is next will not necessitate reinstalling everything again.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Whenever you upgrade to a new major version of Mac OS X, you should perform the Migration procedure.

[vona@…]

I also had this issue. To my knowledge, I have never "upgraded to a new major version of Mac OS X".

$ lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib
Non-fat file: /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib is architecture: cputype 16777223 cpusubtype 3
$ which lipo
/usr/bin/lipo
$ ls -l /usr/bin/lipo
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  140936 Mar 15  2006 /usr/bin/lipo

This is the same old version of lipo that was reported in #24825.

Something is going on here, this has happened to several people. It's not strictly just due to system upgrade or "broken os install" as was the resolution in #24825.

So if you are looking for a solution, the suggestions here are helpful ​http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.macports.user/20593

In detail:

1. install pacifist from ​http://www.charlessoft.com/
2. insert os x dvd
3. launch pacifist, wait the shareware 15 seconds
4. click "open apple install disks", wait a lot more time
5. get impatient, click "stop"
6. click "open package"
7. navigate to mac os x install dvd
8. not see the System directory
9. go look up again how to see hidden files in the finder
10. hit shift-cmd-period
11. finally open System/Installation/Packages/BSD.pkg
12. search for lipo within the package, find lipo and lipo.1 (the manpage)
13. extract, wait more time
14. replace the bad files:

    $ sudo cp lipo /usr/bin
    $ ls -l /usr/bin/lipo
    -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  138384 Oct 19 20:13 /usr/bin/lipo
    $ ls -l /usr/share/man/man1/lipo.1
    -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  3818 Mar 15  2006 /usr/share/man/man1/lipo.1
    $ ls -l lipo.1
    -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  4296 Jul  2  2009 lipo.1

Replying to vona@…:

Something is going on here, this has happened to several people. It's not strictly just due to system upgrade or "broken os install" as was the resolution in #24825.

Toby may not have been very verbose in his comment in #24825, but it is a "broken OS", in that some process that was not MacPorts and not an Apple-approved software update (perhaps some as-yet-unidentified third-party software installer) has replaced /usr/bin/lipo with an older version that was not designed for Snow Leopard. And the solution is to put back the /usr/bin/lipo that came with Snow Leopard.
