ghostscript @9.10: destroot fails

[jmgant@…]

I am trying to install ghostscript. It fails. I am running 10.9. Is the following information helpful? I am fairly new at this.

No. That only tells us that an error occurred, not what error occurred. Please attach the main.log file; that should hopefully tell us why it failed.

This was not a clean attempt and you should ​clean and try again.

If the log still contains the line that says "strip: ... malformed object (unknown load command 9)" then this suggests that your strip command is too old to deal with the types of objects produced by your compiler, and you should reinstall strip. I assume it's part of the Xcode command line tools, so you'd need to reinstall those.

I reinstalled xcode, pointed xcode-select to the working directory. I am using xcode 5.0.2. I did a clean install of ghostscript. here is the new log.

I am actually trying to install Amarok and Ghostscript is a dependency. I have gs installed already in /usr. Is there a way to make MacPorts recognize my installed gs? I actually have no need for a macports installation if Ghostscript except as a dependency to Amarok.

the error was on my end. I fixed my xcode and gs installed.
