ImageMagick install not completing because create archive command execution failed

[jtran@…]

Summary: ImageMagick @6.9.2-4_0+wmf+x11 Install error - create archive failure

Description: I tried to install php56-imagick @3.1.2_1, and macports tried to upgrade ImageMagick but cannot complete the install process due to a create archive command execution failure. The configure, building steps are ok but the not install step. I tailed the log below for further informations. To me, it seems related to some eval error when executing the create archive command.

Here are details about my system and the log:

Replying to jtran@…:

:debug:install Executing command line:  cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_graphics_ImageMagick/ImageMagick/work/destroot" && /usr/bin/tar -cvf - . | /usr/bin/gzip -c9 > /opt/local/var/macports/software/imagemagick/ImageMagick-6.9.2-4_0+wmf+x11.darwin_10.x86_64.tgz 
:info:install sh: /opt/local/var/macports/software/imagemagick/ImageMagick-6.9.2-4_0+wmf+x11.darwin_10.x86_64.tgz: Operation not permitted

Sounds like the permissions on the directory /opt/local/var/macports/software/imagemagick may be wrong. It's also curious that the directory is being called "imagemagick" when it should be named after the port, which is "ImageMagick". I would clean the affected port ("sudo port clean ImageMagick"), uninstall any other versions of ImageMagick that may still be installed ("sudo port uninstall installed and name:^ImageMagick$"), then, if the directory /opt/local/var/macports/software/imagemagick still exists, manually delete it, then try again. MacPorts should then recreate the directory with the correct capitalization and the correct permissions.

Thank you Ryan! You were right, I followed the steps you mentioned, and the install completes successfully.

Perhaps you forgot to use "sudo" the last time you installed ImageMagick; I see your old ImageMagick archive was not owned by root. In any case, I'm glad you got it working.
