I tried the offending command and it worked: sudo cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_Talbot_optlocal_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_gawk/gawk/work" && /opt/local/bin/xz -dc '/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/gawk/gawk-4.1.1.tar.xz' | /usr/bin/tar -xf -

The result is still the same though after you execute the offending command. I also tried a "sudo port clean gawk" before the upgrade with no change in the result. I tried just creating the directory gawk-4.1.1 where it wanted it with no change in the result. I tried "sudo port uninstall gawk" before "sudo port install gawk" with no change in the result. A "port selfupdate" says that the MacPorts base is already the latest version

In the future, please use WikiFormatting, and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers gawk). The Milestone field is for use by Macports team members only, please do not set it.

Please attach the complete main.log.

• Please close. This was not a gawk problem. I tried other packages later and had the same issue. I ended up de-installing all of MacPorts and re-installing from scratch. Gawk worked fine. I suspect this was a problem from a long time ago upgrade to Mavericks

[ztalbot2000 (John Talbot)]

I did figure out what was wrong. It deals with MacPorts an not gawk in particular. I had moved /opt/local to ~/local and did a symbolic link from ~/local to /opt The purpose of this was to make sure that local gets backed up by time machine. Changing this somehow causes the problem to occur. I do not know if you wish to fix this.

Moving your macports directory after installation is not supported.
