Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
Hi,
I am trying to install the program Demeter, which requires installation of MacPorts first. A link to Demeter is here: https://bruceravel.github.io/demeter/
I am unable to install Demeter due to the following error:
Error: org.macports.archivefetch for port libcxx returned: archivefetch failed for libcxx @3.9.0_0+universal Error: Failed to install libcxx
I was wondering whether you have any advice or suggestions for addressing this issue.
Thank you for your help, Rachel

Replying to ryandesign:
Archives for libcxx 3.9.0 universal do exist for Snow Leopard and later, and even if they didn't, MacPorts should have fallen back on compiling it on your own system, unless of course you told it not to do that.
Actually it doesn't in the case where an archive is found to exist on the server but then fails to download. Build-time dependencies are omitted when an archive is known to exist, so building from source wouldn't work.
You didn't attach your main.log file, so we don't know any more about the problem than you told us. MacPorts couldn't fetch a precompiled archive for libcxx 3.9.0 universal. Archives for libcxx 3.9.0 universal do exist for Snow Leopard and later, and even if they didn't, MacPorts should have fallen back on compiling it on your own system, unless of course you told it not to do that.
