cairo @1.12.14_0+universal+x11 build failure: /opt/local/lib/libexpat.la: No such file or directory

[connortk@…]

Over past week i have been trying to fix but with no luck these errors when installing ports. My xcode is installed and i have the command line tools. Im running Mountain Lion and was following: ​http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/.

I put in:

sudo port install wine

and get:

Error: Port wine not found

after i did

sudo port sync

and again did

sudo port install wine

i get a really long log and it says

Warning: xcodebuild exists but failed to execute
Warning: Xcode does not appear to be installed; most ports will likely fail to build.

when in fact it is installed! Here is the rest of the log

Error: Processing of port wine failed

Another problem:

also here is another error i get and it is about how my mac cannot extract tarballs:

i put in:

sudo port selfupdate

and get:

--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Failed to extract MacPorts sources from tarball!

i get the tarballs error a lot and do not know why. And another error is "Bad CPU type in executable", which is just as annoying.

Please help me fix all of these errors so i can get macports working!

[connortk@…]

here is sources file if it would help

[connortk@…]

i have added my most recent main.log of:

sudo port install wine

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

It looks like the error is actually with expat, not wine. Try attaching the main.log for expat. Also the sources.conf file looks like you haven't changed it from the default so I don't know why you included that...

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

Also you say Xcode is actually installed, have you accepted the license agreement and installed the Command-Line Tools and everything? What does xcodebuild -version return?

xcode error fixed

xcodebuild -version

Xcode 4.5.1
Build version 4G1004

i have fixed the xcode error warnings so far but the rest of the errors remain

also about the Bad CPU Type error, even if i just type 'tar' into terminal i get this:

imac:~ connnor2$ tar

OK, I'm not sure how you managed to have a ppc-only version of tar on Mountain Lion, as the normal Mountain Lion tar is supposed to be x86_64. Make sure you have all the latest system updates and stuff installed, and once you've done this, if you're still running into this problem, try reinstalling your system from scratch. In any case, this isn't a MacPorts problem, it's a problem with your OS being hosed.

How is this even possible? You’re on x86_64 Mountain Lion.

:debug:main OS darwin/12.2.0 (Mac OS X 10.8) arch i386

I’m pretty sure tar is part of the core OS, so this doesn’t make me feel too good about the state of the rest of your system. I recommend just straight-up reinstalling the OS. This shouldn’t touch anything other than system files, so you don’t have to worry about your personal stuff getting lost.

I just updated to most recent version and got the same result in terminal. Will do that.

Be sure to back up first, of course.

For reference, on my Mountain Lion system, /usr/bin/tar is a symlink to bsdtar.

After you reinstall OS X, consider also updating to Xcode 4.6.1 (you can do this in the Mac App Store). Make sure you also update the Xcode command line tools (you can do this in the Xcode application's Preferences window, in the Downloads section).

here is cairo log

[connortk@…]

I reinstalled OS X and Tar file is updated. Wine was installing dependencies correctly until it started to install cairo , then an error had occurred. I tried syncing and clearing but no luck. I have attached the log file of it.

Also, all errors in my original post are gone, just the cairo one.

Hm, that's strange, I didn't think the .la-file-killing patch was going to make it into MacPorts until 2.2... must be some other problem. Does /opt/local/lib/libexpat.la actually exist? What does stat /opt/local/lib/libexpat.la return for you? How about port installed expat? If that returns something, how about port contents expat?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Given that expat failed to install as shown in the description, you should probably refresh it like so:

sudo port -f uninstall expat
sudo port clean --all expat
sudo port install expat
