Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Everything works fine on my previous high sierra, including 'sudo port install gcc43'. But, after I reinstalled the mac os high sierra, it gives me the error as shown below. I reinstalled Xcode, macports and also I did the migration. It gives me same errors. I try to install this system : ​http://wsn.cse.wustl.edu/index.php/Run_WCPS_On_Mac_Guide#Upgrade_to_El_Capitan , which previously succeed.

would you please give me some suggestions? Thanks

you'll have to try a newer gcc version that works with your xcode installation. gcc8 is current, gcc5 is the oldest I believe. Hopefully one of those will work for you.

If it's truly gcc43 and no other will work, that's complicated. You'd have to downgrade xcode.
