You have provided no useful information to debug your problem. Please attach the main.log file after cleaning the port (sudo port clean source-highlight) and re-open the ticket.

As suggested, I ran the command:

sudo port clean source-highlight

Then the command:

port rev-upgrade

But the file:

/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_gcc47/gcc47/main.log

is 80M big, while the upload limit is 10M. Should I cut the file in 8 or are you interested only in the beginning or the end of the file? Thanks for your help. best regards Alain

compress (zip) it and attach it.

Added the ziped file main.log. Thanks.

If you sudo port -v rev-upgrade you’ll see what is broken and calling for this.

Uninstall that, then reinstall it with sudo port install and you should get some more up to date and useful variants.

gcc versions < 6 are sketchy on newer systems.

[alaingirault]

I did and found two ports broken, gcc47 and gcc5. I uninstalled gcc47 and kept gcc5. Seems to work fine. Thanks a lot. Alain

Replying to alaingirault:

Added the ziped file main.log.

The log shows the error is:

:info:build <stdin>:42:17: error: non-local symbol required in directive
:info:build         .no_dead_strip L_OBJC_Module
:info:build                        ^
:info:build make[2]: *** [NXConstStr.lo] Error 1
:info:build make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

...whatever that means...
