gconf configure failure with ccache enabled

[mcoletti@…]

While trying to do upgrade I get the following error:

--->  Attempting to fetch GConf-2.28.1.tar.bz2 from ftp://ftp.cse.buffalo.edu/pub/Gnome/sources/GConf/2.28/
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for gconf

Error: org.macports.configure for port gconf returned: configure failure: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port gconf for details:
    /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_gconf/gconf/main.log

Looking in main.log I see the following error:

:info:configure checking for suffix of executables... 
:info:configure checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: in `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_gconf/gconf/work/GConf-2.28.1':

It further complains about config.log, but I do not see any obvious errors there.

Please attach the main.log and config.log so that we can have a look.

[mcoletti@…]

main.log of build containing error messages

[mcoletti@…]

config.log containing error messages

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Done and done. I hope it helps!

On a hunch I disabled use of the ccache; I had a hunch that old binaries were being cached that referred to obsolete libraries. The port update is now burbling away sans ccache. I'll let you know if I get through the entire update with no problems.

Looks like disabling ccache in macports.conf did the trick. My local copy of macports appears to be ok now.

The config.log says:

ccache: FATAL: Failed to create /opt/local/var/macports/build/.ccache/a/9: Permission denied

So this is a duplicate of #36211.
