Should be fixed in r105225. Please do a "sudo port selfupdate", "sudo port clean SuiteSparse", and then try again. Also please report back successes or failures!

Works for me! Thanks!

Replying to michaelld@…: Still fails on OS X 10.5.8 PPC. Log attached.

[jdgleeson]

PPC failure with patch-CHOLMOD_Lib_Makefile.diff applied

[jasimpson@…]

Works for me now on 10.8.3. Thanks for the quick fix!

UPDATE:

Please do a "sudo port selfupdate", "sudo port clean SuiteSparse", and then try again

I tried and it failed again.

I attached a new main.log and my console output (consolelog.txt).

Thanks Casey

Still fails on OS X 10.5.8 PPC. Log attached.

I've looked at the preprocessor output. It reveals that the old version 4.0.0 header file ${prefix}/include/cholmod_core.h is used, which does not define IPerm. AFAICT, this is happening because the include option -I${prefix}/include is placed too early on the command line. I'll eventually figure out a patch, but if a patch is already obvious to anyone else, I'd be glad to test it.

[jdgleeson]

The failure on my PPC machine is actually a bug that shows up because I chose the +metis variant. I believe it would bite anyone who upgrades from SuiteSparse @4.0.0+metis to 4.1.0. I've attached a modified version of patch-CHOLMOD_Lib_Makefile.diff that fixes this problem.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Yeah; SuiteSparse has a "-I..." ordering issue. Thanks for that patch change; I think the issue is broader than that, but let me look into it.

[gregmainland@…]

Since I opened the issue I will note that it now works for me, thanks.

[harris.snyder@…]

Apologies for the totally ignorant question, but how do I apply this patch? I'm brand new (day 1) to macports...

[gregmainland@…]

harris: Go to the terminal and type "sudo port selfupdate" to get all the latest patches, then type "sudo port clean SuiteSparse" to make sure a half-installed buggy version is blown away, and then "sudo port install SuiteSparse" to install.

[harris.snyder@…]

Wow I thought I had to apply the patch manually... *Sigh*. Thanks. Still broken for me though.

If it's still broken after "sudo port clean; sudo port selfupdate" can you paste the log?

[harris.snyder@…]

Tried clean, update, upgrade outdated and then retried it and it worked. Thanks. Now octave-devel is failing on qrupdate *sigh*, oh well, thanks for fixing this

[casey.l.kiernan@…]

I am still seeing octave-devel fail (logs are posted).

Casey

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

This ticket's various issue should now be fixed in r105503, by reordering the -I such that the MacPorts' entry comes last. I also fixed a couple other non-critical build issues.

Please do:

sudo port clean SuiteSparse
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade SuiteSparse

and it should all work again. I'm closing this ticket as fixed, but if y'all continue to have -the same issue- please reopen it and attach the relevant log file and your system info.

For folks still having issue with octave-devel, please open a new ticket after verifying (via a search) that one does not already exist with your issue. With the most recent atlas changes, all of my +atlas ports are working again.

[casey.l.kiernan@…]

It worked! - Thanks for all your help!

Casey

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Great! You're welcome! Thanks for reporting back regularly.
