gcl @2.6.7_1 configure failure

[wpdster@…]

I just tried installing the gcl port on my Macbook and it failed. I am running Mac OS 10.7.5 and using XCode 4.6.3. The error message produced is:

$ sudo port install gcl
Password:
--->  Computing dependencies for gcl
--->  Configuring gcl
Error: Failed to configure gcl, consult /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_gcl/gcl/work/gcl-2.6.7/config.log
Error: org.macports.configure for port gcl returned: configure failure: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port gcl for details:
    /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_gcl/gcl/main.log
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
    http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port gcl failed

I get the same error following a "sudo port clean gcl".

Looking at the relevant log files (which I hope to remember to attach to this ticket), I see that configure is failing when running a code snippet that wants to include <syscall.h>. Poking around my computer, I can find <sys/syscall.h>, but no <syscall.h>.

The current gcl port is very old. Might want to try updating it to 2.6.9.

gcl was updated to 2.6.11 in r126802. Did that help?
