issues installing pgplot on MacOS Mojave

[henriksj993]

Hi there!

I'm trying to install pgplot using MacPorts on my machine, but are having some issues here. I've tried doing a "sudo port selfupdate" followed by a "sudo port clean pgplot" before trying my latests install. Every time it is installing it "fails to build pgplot"

The command line outputs this

 sudo port install pgplot

Do you have any suggestion to how I can follow up on this? I've been trying to install the demeter package ($ sudo port install xorg-server demeter), and always failed on the pgplot part, which is why I am trying to install this separately.

Hope you can help. Henrik

In the future, please fill in the Port field and add the port maintainer(s) to Cc (port info --maintainers pgplot), if any.

info:build ld: unexpected token: !tapi-tbd-v3 file

do this:

sudo port -f uninstalll ld64
sudo port -v install ld64

then please clean and try your build again.

appreciate a report back with success or failure!

That worked perfectly. Thank you so much, really appreciate it!
