Error: Failed to install tiff (sudo port install gtk2 +x11 for OX Yosemite)

[chonqwei89@…]

Dear Experts,

OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1
MacPorts based version 2.3.3
XQuartz 2.7.7 (xorg-server 1.15.2)

I have been trying to install GTK2 +x11 for mac in order to run (RQDA) and (rattle) packages in r/ r studio. Due to some errors reported by (see, ​http://marcoghislanzoni.com/blog/2014/08/29/solved-installing-rattle-r-3-1-mac-os-x-10-9/) I need to install Xcode and MacPorts and running the installation manually.

The problem is, while following the steps

> export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
> sudo port selfupdate
> sudo port install pkgconfig
> export PATH=/opt/pkgconfig/bin:$PATH
> sudo port install gtk2 +x11

I encountered this:

Done, wondering is there anything else that I missed. Thanks for the helps though. :-)

I cleaned the log by writing "sudo port clean tiff" and re-do the installation. Eventually, yes!! It run smoothly. Big thankS to you ryandesign! :-D. I'm most appreciated!

Ok great, glad it worked. Remember to clean and try again as your first step when any port fails, and before filing a ticket.
