I am attempting to install gnuplot with 'sudo port install gnuplot'. I have tried 'sudo port clean gnuplot' with no luck.

Here is the output of the failed install:

I tried to 'sudo port activate libpng @1.4.5_0' and then install gnuplot again, but this time main.log says:

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Cairo should not be trying to link to libpng 1.4. What version do you have installed? You might want to update it, or at least rebuild it so it links to libpng 1.5.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Please re-activate libpng 1.5 (run "sudo port activate libpng @1.5.14_0"), then run "sudo port selfupdate" and "sudo port rev-upgrade" to rebuild anything that might still be linking against libpng 1.4 (such as apparently cairo on your system).

The following version of cairo are installed:
  cairo @1.8.8_0+macosx
  cairo @1.10.0_0
  cairo @1.10.0_1
  cairo @1.12.12_0+x11 (active)

I just tried to 'sudo port upgrade cairo', but this fails with:

It looks like upgrading cairo is trying to build gnuplot, which seems cyclic...

This was not a clean build attempt. You're going to need to "sudo port clean gnuplot" before you'll be able to get any further.

No. After you upgrade or install any port, MacPorts runs the so-called "rev-upgrade" feature, which checks whether any installed ports have linking errors; if any linking errors are found, those ports are rebuilt. But the rebuild is failing, perhaps in part because it was not a clean attempt. Always clean ports before trying to rebuild them.

Ok I guess that makes sense. So now I've tried 'sudo port clean cairo', 'sudo port clean gnuplot', 'sudo port selfupdate', and 'sudo port rev-upgrade'. The rev-upgrade fails with:

The gnuplot/main.log again gives the error:

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ok, then rebuild cairo:

sudo port -n upgrade --force cairo

Then clean gnuplot and try rev-upgrade again.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Actually since MacPorts will automatically run rev-upgrade after any other upgrade or install, clean gnuplot first, then rebuild cairo.

[jp+macports@…]

Awesome that worked. Thanks for your help!

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Great, glad you got it working.
