opendx @4.4.4 Build Failure: error: first parameter of 'main' (argument count) must be of type 'int'

[abigail.l.bull@…]

I have a macbook pro running Lion. I am trying to install OpenDx. After running

sudo port install opendx

The install crashes with the following message

--->  Computing dependencies for opendx
--->  Building opendx
Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed (see log for details)
Log for opendx is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_science_opendx/opendx/main.log
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

I have done a clean, sync, update, etc., and still have the same issue. Any ideas?

Possibly clang is being more strict than gcc was. Try building with llvm-gcc-4.2?

sudo port clean opendx
sudo port install opendx configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2

Thank you, that worked! Dx is up and running. Thanks!

I can now get dx to open and begin running, however, it crashes and begins to display many widows with the "Format error (1) encountered in packet" message.

I read that this is due to a coding issue in packet.c (​http://www.opendx.org/bugs/view.php?id=251), but I cannot find that file, and so cannot change it.

I also tried applying the patch described at #31730, but I get the message "can't find file to patch'.
