octave-control: configure failure

[gps@…]

• I upgraded to El Capitan.
• I completely uninstalled all mac ports, and deleted all related macports files from the system.
• I've been installing selected packages from scratch. octave-control always fails. The problem appears to be with the fetch of the package.
• Once it fails I try 'port clean octave-control' and always run into the same problem.
• From the log (attached to the ticket). I see that the fetch is failing.

  :info:archivefetch --->  octave-control-3.0.0_0+gcc5.darwin_15.x86_64.tbz2 doesn't seem to exist in /opt/local/var/macports/incoming/verified

This seems to cause other errors later in the process (see the attached log file).

In the future, please use WikiFormatting and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers octave-control), if any.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Per your log, it fetches just fine. The problem is in the configure phase.

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

It looks like your real problem is

Which version of octave did you install? (i.e. octave, octave-devel, octave-devel-rc or octave-devel-release)

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

I just installed octave-control against octave-devel-release (octave 4.0.1) under El Capitan and Xcode 7.3.1, w/o any problems.

Try

sudo port clean octave-control

sudo port install octave-control

as there may be remnants of a previous build.

Replying to mps@…:

Thanks for you're response. This is the first ticket that I've filed and did not fully understand the formatting conventions. I apologize.

I completely uninstalled macports including deleting all macports residuals per the "uninstall" page. I reinstalled macports from scratch and per your suggestion installed octave-devel-release rather than octave. I also did a "port clean octave-control" just in case. I then installed octave-control and ran into the same issue as before.

I do see your notes above about the loader errors. From the log file it appears that octave-control is linking to /opt/local/lib/octave/3.8.2 rather than /opt/local/lib/octave/4.0.1. I'm not sure how to proceed here and would appreciate any suggestions. I'm not able to upload the latest main.log. I get a trac error. Its here: ​https://www.dropbox.com/s/hzv1jj9ea15ubpm/main.log?dl=0

Thanks for your help.

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

If you reinstalled MacPorts, there should not be any octave 3.8.2. What does

port installed octave

show? It should print out

None of the specified ports are installed.

Otherwise, you need to uninstall octave. Also you need to run

sudo port select octave octave-revel-release

Otherwise mkoctfile won't be found.

I was able to install octave-control today. The source of the problem was odd. I apparently had an install of xquartz from long ago in the /opt directory. This was confusing the dependencies. I did a total uninstall of macports followed by an uninstall of xquartz, and then a re-install from scratch. Every is working fine now.

I don't see how to close the bug. I consider this bug closed now.

Close at the request of original reporter.
