Installation of openmpi-default port fails on Intel MacOS Ventura 13.6 (Xcode Version 14.3) with the following error:

Error: Failed to configure openmpi-default: consult /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_science_openmpi/openmpi-default/work/build/config.log

I know it might look like those are the errors, but those aren't actually the errors that caused your build to fail. Those are normal, run-of-the-mill configure checks doing their thing.

Please attach the main.log (and if you can, the config.log) and someone will take a look.

main.log says:

:debug:sysinfo Xcode 14.3, CLT 15.0.0.0.1.1694021235

So although you have Xcode 14.3, you have the Xcode 15 version of the command line tools, and openmpi-default port does not specify use_xcode yes so it will use the CLT, not Xcode. We've seen Xcode 15 or its CLT cause a lot of problems. Maybe this is one of them.

The main.log also said the problem was:

:info:configure checking prefix for global symbol labels... none
:info:configure configure: error: Could not determine global symbol label prefix

We usually recommend you use a matched set of Xcode and CLT, so your options are to upgrade to Xcode 15 (and keep experiencing this bug) or downgrade the CLT to 14.3 (and hopefully fix it).

Duplicate of #68226 which says what the fix is.

Actually macOS Sonoma requires Xcode 15, so you cannot downgrade to Xcode 14.3; you must upgrade.

Excuse me; I misread; you're on Ventura so downgrading Xcode to 14.3 is an option.

Downgrading the command line tools worked. Thanks for your time and advice!

I just upgraded to macOS Sonoma 14.1.1, and followed the migration procedure. The Xcode.app About page shows that it is version 15.0.1. However, the main.log for installing openmpi-default still shows :debug:sysinfo Xcode 14.2, CLT 15.0.0.0.1.1694021235. How can I let MacPorts know that Xcode is newer now? Thanks a lot in advance!

Too add a bit more info, some other ports can correctly detect the Xcode version, for example, main.log from clang-11 shows :debug:sysinfo Xcode 15.0.1, CLT 15.0.0.0.1.1694021235. Nevertheless, clang-11 also fails.
