This is an incomplete logfile:

:debug:main Skipping completed org.macports.fetch (python27)

Please run "sudo port clean python27", then try installing again. If it fails again, then attach the new log file.

On a side note, I see you are running OS X 10.11. I am running the same version and am unable to reproduce this problem. Looking at the log file, it would seem that the SDK and developer tools you are using are mismatched. Could you provide the output of the following commands:

xcode-select -p
clang --version

new log

Thanks for the quick reply I added the new log since it failed again and heres the output of the commands.

The problem is indeed caused by a mismatched SDK and compiler. MacPorts is building against the OS X 10.11 SDK, but your default developer tools are Xcode 6.

You can either:

• Install the ​Xcode 7.0 GM and set it to be the default with xcode-select -s /path/to/Xcode 7.app

Or:

• Install the command-line developer tools package for your system with xcode-select --install and set it to be the default with xcode-select -s /

Which version of Xcode is that? It looks like Xcode 6.4. OS X 10.11 El Capitan requires Xcode 7 or newer.

Xcode 7's app name is just "Xcode.app" like previous versions, not "Xcode 7.app".

[l2ofl085@…]

Yup that was it, python is now installed properly the funny thing is I have xcode7 installed already but being the novice and derp that I am I never changed the path to it and it didn't replace 6 because it was saved as Xcode-beta. Thanks!

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Yes, you should not rename Xcode nor Xcode-beta. But you should use "xcode-select" to select whichever Xcode you want to use.
