After getting a new 10.9 machine and security patches, I've been unable to update several ports (e.g. sqlite3, py26-pyobjc @2.5.1_0, and so on)

You got a new 10.9 machine, but did you migrate data from a machine running an earlier OS X version? And had you previously installed Xcode and/or MacPorts on that machine? If so you need to follow the migration instructions.

[kj299@…]

I installed everything fresh to avoid any issues with migration of software.

[kj299@…]

I will go through the reinstall process/migration instructions regardless and report back

[kj299@…]

I'm still having similar issues as before. Not sure what is broken in my system

On Mavericks, "gcc" should not be llvm-gcc; it should be clang. This suggests your Xcode and/or command line tools have not been updated for Mavericks, which is one of the migration steps. Please ensure you are running Xcode 5.1.1 or later (i.e. from the Mac App Store), and are running the corresponding version of the Xcode command line tools (which you install by running "xcode-select --install").

[kj299@…]

That is the case, but still having the same issue. Any other ideas? I've uninstalled and rebooted xcode and macports several times.

Thanks

We're at least making progress. (P.S: Don't forget to use WikiFormatting when writing in Trac.)

The sqlite3 config.log​ you originally attached showed you are running Mavericks:

uname -v = Darwin Kernel Version 13.1.0: Wed Apr  2 23:52:02 PDT 2014; root:xnu-2422.92.1~2/RELEASE_X86_64

But that the version of clang it was trying to use was old:

/usr/bin/clang --version >&5
clang version 1.0.2 (http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/tags/Apple/clang-32 exported)

Next, you showed that your gcc symlink was pointing to an old version of llvm-gcc:

$ gcc --version
i686-apple-darwin10-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5646) (LLVM build 2207.5)

Those versions of clang and llvm-gcc are the ones that were included with Xcode 3.2.2 on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and are not appropriate for OS X 10.9 Mavericks. They were probably migrated from your previous system. This should have been fixed by reinstalling Xcode, which you said you subsequently did. After uninstalling and reinstalling Xcode, you showed that your xcodebuild reports the correct Xcode version 5.1.1, and that your gcc symlink now points to the correct version of clang. So that's good progress.

However, you also showed that your xcode-select command does not recognize the --install argument, which suggests your version of xcode-select is not the one that belongs on Mavericks, and could mean that your Xcode command line tools are not up to date. I'm not sure what package provides xcode-select; I think it used to be provided by Xcode on previous systems but on Mavericks it is provided by the operating system itself. So that's puzziling; the only way that your Mavericks xcode-select should have been replaced by an older version is if you ran an older Xcode installer while on Mavericks.

Regardless of how the old xcode-select got on your system, you need to get the Mavericks version of xcode-select back onto your system. If it's not in your backups, you can use the one I'm attaching to this ticket (copy it into /usr/bin, owned by root:wheel, permissions 755). Then you should be able to run xcode-select --install to update the Xcode command line tools.

The Xcode command line tools can also be downloaded from the ​Apple developer downloads (the package called "Command Line Tools (OS X Mavericks) for Xcode - April 2014"). I don't know if that would reinstall your xcode-select program, though.

xcode-select from OS X 10.9 Mavericks

[kj299@…]

Thanks for the file. I have the latest version of xcode-select, Xcode, and command line tools installed.

however, it appears that the build process can't find my "cc" compiler. any idea how i can change the PATH to ensure it is detected?

You shouldn't need to change your PATH. Does /usr/bin/cc exist and work? If not, you'll need to fix that. It should have been provided by the Xcode command line tools.

Additionally, it is a bug that netcat attempts to use cc at all. I have filed #43808 about that.

[kj299@…]

Yes Sir. Please see below

sh-3.2$ which cc ; cc --version
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/cc
Apple LLVM version 5.1 (clang-503.0.40) (based on LLVM 3.4svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.2.0
Thread model: posix

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

which cc should return /usr/bin/cc. Does /usr/bin/cc exist?

Why is /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin in your PATH?

[kj299@…]

I placed it in my /etc/bashrc when i was troubleshooting this issue.

$ ls -l /usr/bin/cc
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  22 May 18 12:40 /usr/bin/cc -> //usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2

i've attempted to reinstall command line tools from

xcode-select --install

when i'm prompted to download from server i receive the dialogue box "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update Server"

i've installed the command line tools from the mpkg in the dmg i downloaded from Apple several times with reboots, but still no /usr/bin/cc

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

Replying to kj299@…:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/cc
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  22 May 18 12:40 /usr/bin/cc -> //usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2

That's wrong. On my Mavericks system it is

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     5B Oct 23  2013 /usr/bin/cc -> clang

Did you manually modify /usr/bin/cc?

"Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update Server"

That usually means the command line tools are installed and up-to-date. I agree the message could be better, but that's not in our hands.

[kj299@…]

All - I kept running into new issues/errors leading me to believe the entire OS was jacked up. I ended up backing up my system and just wiping the entire OS. I reinstalled Mavericks and all of my software from scratch.

I no longer experience the issue. Thanks for your help

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

Glad you found a solution.
