Configure fails with isl

[TobiasKraemer]

Hello,

I am running into problems whilst doing a "port upgrade outdated", which I was trying to do before installing octave via macports. Essentially the isl configuration does not work, and I get the following message:

--->  Computing dependencies for isl
--->  Configuring isl
Error: Failed to configure isl, consult /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_isl/isl/work/isl-0.20-x86_64/config.log
Error: Failed to configure isl: configure failure: command execution failed
Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_isl/isl/main.log for details.
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug. 

I have tried to clean the port as recommended, to no avail. Since I do not know the solution to this problem and could't find much online searching for this error, I am turning to this ticket system in search for some help. I much appreciated you input on this. I have attached the two log files that are referred to in the above error messages, in the hope that there is some useful information in there.

Thanks

Tobi

from the main.log is seems this is caused by readline/gawk (probably related to ​ticket 58011). Try this: upgrade readline/gawk first with port upgrade readline gawk, then do port clean --all isl and try another upgrade.

In the future, please use WikiFormatting and add the port maintainer(s) to Cc (port info --maintainers isl), if any.

It seems like port upgrade readline gawk did the job. Thanks for the suggestion. However, now there is another issue with fribidi. I will open another ticket for that.

Glad to hear that the workaround worked.
Unfortunately, this a known issue.
