arpack: configure: error: could not compile a MPI test program

[edhem.bajric@…]

Dear madam, dear sir

Recently, I tried to install octave via macports in order to prepare myself for a new job. The installation failed and I don't know why. Please halp me to fix this. I'd be very grateful. Thanks a lot in advance. The code and the log-file can be found below.

Yours sincerely

log-file of installation of octave

Cc Me!

[mamoll (Mark Moll)]

Can you check if with the latest update to the arpack port in r107476 things work again?

[edhem.bajric@…]

Dear madam, dear sir

Thanks a lot for your answer. I retried to install octave (and therefore arpack as well) without success. Below, you will find the installation history. I append the current log-file (main2.log) to this document. Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Yours sincerely Edhem Bajric

log file after retrying the installation

[dstrubbe (David Strubbe)]

Given how your output above begins for arpack with "Configuring arpack" not downloading etc., I would say you probably did not actually try the new Portfile. Please do

port selfupdate
port clean --all arpack
port install arpack

and see what happens.

[edhem.bajric@…]

Dear madam, dear sir

Thanks a lot for this advice. After performing the self-update and the clean-up of the port arpack, both, arpack and octave were built successfully. Now I can use octave without problems. Thanks a lot for your help in this case. The problem is solved. Have a nice day.

Yours sincerely
