Error: org.macports.checksum for port gnuplot returned: Unable to verify file checksums

[mjchen.sub@…]

I ran the command below to install: sudo port install gnuplot @4.6.1 After it failed, I ran the commands below and got the message attached sudo port clean gnuplot sudo port install gnuplot

My mac is 10.6.8, snow leopard.

Thanks,

I'm not sure how to reproduce this problem. It still works for me, but it fetches files from ​http://lil.fr.distfiles.macports.org/gnuplot/4.6.1/. What happens if you delete (or backup at some other location) everything from /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/gnuplot and try sudo port -v fetch gnuplot?

What happens if you delete everything from /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/gnuplot?

The easiest way to accomplish this is as follows:

sudo port clean --all gnuplot

Thank you so much! I replace the default rsync server with rsync://lil.fr.rsync.macports.org/release/ports/, do port clean --all gnuplot. It works!

What rsync server you use is irrelevant to this problem.
