This is the error message when trying to install opencv:

$ sudo port install opencv +python27 +openni_sensorkinect
--->  Computing dependencies for opencv

Error: org.macports.build for port opencv returned: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port opencv for details:

There are several issues here, but firstly, you’re building an old version of OpenCV:

:debug:build Executing command line:  cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_nummist.com_opencv_ports_graphics_opencv/opencv/work/opencv-2.4.10" && /usr/bin/make -j8 -w all VERBOSE=ON 

The opencv port is currently at 3.1.0. Please clean, update, and try again.

$ sudo port clean opencv
$ sudo port selfupdate
$ sudo port install opencv +python27 +openni_sensorkinect

Thank you very much for your help. I'm not sure what to do with the :debug:build statement above. However, I performed the other 3 statements (clean, selfupdate, and the install) but I still get the same error. I also attached the new log file to this message. Thanks.

Your build is still using 2.4.10.

I don’t know what “nummist.com” is, but it suggests you’re using a third-party port source. Why can’t you use our official ports tree? We cannot provide support for third-party ports trees that provide outdated portfiles.
