vtk5 will not build

[coden@…]

Hello,

I am unable to install a number of ports that depend on vtk5. I have OS X 10.7.5, X Code 4.1. I have been using macports for a over a year on this machine with no problems. The last part of /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_vtk5/vtk5/main.log follows.

I have run done the following: upgrade outdated, selfupdate, uninstall vtk5, clean vtk5, install vtk5, install vtk5 build.jobs=1. VTK was working previously with python.

Thanks for help. -coden

Please attach the entire (possibly compressed) main.log; the portion you showed us above only tells us that an error occurred, not what the error was.

Also remember to use WikiFormatting.

Since the user's build failed at,

[ 60%] Built target vtkGraphicsTCL

I'm suspecting that this error is due to the recent tcl upgrade.

Hmm... VTK 5.10.1 is supposed to be compatible with TCL 8.6.

Have you updated all ports, TCL included?

I'm trying to build vtk5 +tcltk now.

[adfernandes (Andrew Fernandes)]

On 10.8.2, latest Xcode, etc. building vtk5 +python27 +tcltk works for me. Therefore this might be a 10.7 issue.

Can you please do a

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port uninstall inactive
sudo port clean all
sudo port upgrade outdated

and try a rebuild? Thanks!

Quote from original reporter (out of band):

I am sorry to say that I have uninstalled macports and used another package manager (homebrew) because I needed to move forward. Before uninstalling macports, I did try updating xcode and xcode command line tools with no success. Since homebrew and macports don't get along very well, I would rather not reinstall macports. I appreciate your help and apologize for not helping any further.
