webkit2-gtk @2.14.2_2 does not build on Snow Leoprad, Mac OS X 10.6.8, because: permission denied

It happens at the end of building the port:

The GID of unbound is 505.

Is that the reason? Or is owned by root the cause? Which ownership is OK?

Upload of main.log failed because too big…

Too weird. But all versions of webkit install on 10.6.8 with libc++ (I have the macports-libstdc++ fixed too, just not uploaded yet).

$ port -v installed | grep webkit

Although it takes hours, I'd suggest you clean and try again. This doesn't look like a webit-specific issues at first glance. If that fails, let me know.

[kencu (Ken)]

I note you had another rather weird error this morning 54836. Every once in a while I have to go into

/opt/local/var/macports/build

and clean out everything in that folder. Hope it doesn't turn out to be your disk...

[kencu (Ken)]

I have just rebuilt webkit2-gtk a number of times on systems from 10.6 to 10.12 and not seen this error, so I have to assume it's something local to your system and not a MacPorts-wide issue. Please reopen if otherwise
