I have experienced this error installing on Leopard with an Intel processor.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

You have the same error? The one that reads:

gcj-mp-4.5: Internal error: Abort trap (program ecj1)
Please submit a full bug report.
See <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.

Do either of you still see the problem with gcc45 version 4.5.2?

If so, have either of you reported this bug to the GCC developers as requested?

[pepper_13@…]

Same error here --> gcj-mp-4.5: Internal error: Abort trap (program ecj1)

Config : MacBook Pro 17" (Santa Rosa) ; Mac OS X 10.5.8 ; Xcode 3.1.3 ; MacPorts 1.9.2 ; ggc45 4.5.2

Have you tried any of the other gcc variants of the pdftk port?

Have you reported the gcc45 error to the developers of gcc, as the error message requests?

I got the same result with gcc45 4.5.2. I attempted to report the bug but unfortunately the procedure was more complicated than my limited skill set allows. Installing using the +gcc42 option allowed installation to complete normally.

I didn't report this error to the gcc developpers for the same reason as jkorchok. I could also complete the installation of pdftk with +gcc42 option ; everything works well...

Apparently the same issue occurs with Fink: Pdftk 1.44 fails to build with GCC 4.5 on Tiger/Leopard Intel: ​Subject: Re: Compile fails for pdftk-1.44-1

(In my tests, it fails to build in MacPorts with current gcc44 and ggc45 on OS X 10.5.8 Leopard (i386), but builds ok with gcc42)

Correction: fails to build in MacPorts with current gcc45 (there is no gcc44 variant for pdftk) …

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Right, there can't be a gcc44 or gcc43 variant for pdftk until #22066 is resolved.

Yes, I see this error on Mac OS X 10.5.8, with gcc45 version of 4.5.3, installed via Mac Ports.

If so, have either of you reported this bug to the GCC developers as requested?

I have reported it as ​GCC Bug 49036 - gcj-mp-4.5: Internal error: Abort trap (program ecj1) on Mac OS X 10.5.8 .

[JDLH (Jim DeLaHunt)]

Here's the commands which worked for me to switch from a failing install of pdftk using gcc45, to a successful install of pdftk using gcc42:

% cd   

[Because I started off deep in the /opt/local directory tree, and 'port install' failed because the paths were too long.]

sudo port clean pdftk
sudo port install pdftk +gcc42

[Clean up the failed pdftk install, then redo the install specifying the gcc42 variant.]

Experienced mac ports users will know all this. But I'm not an experienced user, and I'm hoping this note will help someone who encounters the same pdftk build failure and wants help getting to success.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

In r78712 I've changed pdftk's default compiler from gcc45 to gcc42 on Leopard and earlier.

[JDLH (Jim DeLaHunt)]

Thanks, ryandesign; that sounds like a good change.

[jknockaert (Jasper Knockaert)]

I get this error (or a very similar one) when installing pdftk on Lion. I'm running macports 2.0.0.

I doubt the error you receive on Lion is the one in this ticket. Rather, I suspect you're experiencing #30299.

[jknockaert (Jasper Knockaert)]

I'm still inclined to judge that #30299 is a duplicate of this one. I've applied manually the patch to Makefile.OSX-10.6 and next run the make script, and it starts out saying:

mycomp:pdftk jasper$ make -f Makefile.OSX-10.6 VERSUFF=-mp-4.5
make -f Makefile -iC ../java all
/opt/local/bin/gcj-mp-4.5 -Wall -fsource=1.3 -O2 --encoding=UTF-8 --classpath="/opt/local/share/gcc-4.5/java/libgcj-tools-4.5.3.jar:/Users/jasper/Projects/pdftk-1.44-dist/java:." -C com/lowagie/text/Anchor.java
gcj-mp-4.5: Internal error: Abort trap: 6 (program ecj1)
Please submit a full bug report.
See <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.

And it goes on like that for each and every java file it has to compile (with varying error messages: Abort trap or Illegal instruction; but nothing gets compiled). After it iterated over all java files, it fails to bundle them in java_lib.jar (because there's nothing to bundle). And only then does the make script run finally aground when it tries to build an object file out from java_lib.jar:

/opt/local/bin/gcj-mp-4.5 -Wall -fsource=1.3 -O2 --encoding=UTF-8 --classpath="/opt/local/share/gcc-4.5/java/libgcj-tools-4.5.3.jar:/Users/jasper/Projects/pdftk-1.44-dist/java:." -c java_lib.jar
gcj-mp-4.5: java_lib.jar: No such file or directory
gcj-mp-4.5: no input files
make[1]: [java_lib.o] Error 1 (ignored)
make: *** No rule to make target `../java/java_lib.o', needed by `pdftk.o'.  Stop.

It seems to me that the problem is with gcj 4.5.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Great, then file a bug against gcc45 please.

I tried to compile (manually) pdftk against the new gcc 4.7 which comes with gcj by default. But it lacks ecj (eclipse java), so no avail. But maybe we should just wait a bit longer for gcc 4.5.4 which I expect to be released over the weeks to come.

GCC 4.5.4 is now officially released.

[jknockaert (Jasper Knockaert)]

Tried it yesterday and it does work for me. However, I also updated xcode in the meantime, so not entirely sure which of both upgrades solved the issue (but most likely the 4.5.4 upgrade did it).
