There are two separate problems here.

The first is that biblatex-biber (which is installed by texlive-bin-extra) uses perl 5.12 and needs to install various perl modules, including p5-text-bibtex. Unfortunately, it isn't yet possible in most cases to have perl modules installed for multiple perl versions. Since you had p5.14 ports installed, you might prefer to build it with perl5.14 instead. I added a variant to do so; if that's what you want, port install biblatex-biber +perl5_14.

The second is the clang compile error. That's the same issue as #31769, and it should be fixed. I suspect you just need to port clean p5.12-text-bibtex and retry.

Thank-you for the variant. I mostly am trying to get *something* installed right now and am not concerned about specific versions. So I backed out of the 5.14 version to try and get this application to install.

The second is the clang compile error. That's the same issue as #31769, and it should be fixed. I suspect you just need to port clean p5.12-text-bibtex and retry.

Tried 'port clean p5.12-text.bibtex' and it "cleaned." Then went ahead and tried to install it again and hit the same error. What should I try next? (Note: this port was "fixed" less than 1 day before I started trying to install it. I think it was 16 hrs. after the fix was posted.)

Have you done a port selfupdate to get the latest changes?

I didn't know about the self update. Just did it. Then attempted to install the bibtex port. Same error.

What's next?

comment:7 Changed 13 years ago by drkp (Dan Ports)

Please run

port selfupdate
port clean p5.12-text-bibtex
port install p5.12-text-bibtex

in that order. If it still fails, please upload the main.log file it generates.

(Feel free to substitute p5.14-text-bibtex for p5.12 if you prefer.)

Sigh. That fixed it. Thanks for walking me through it step-by-step.

I wasn't explicitly thinking about how MacPorts was functioning. This "bug" and your assistance helped me understand how MacPorts is operating. Now I can problem-solve a bit more before reporting a problem. Thanks!
