I'll take look on this one later today or on this week. Thanks or logs.

Thank you very much. No pressure. It's nice to hear back from developers when they take charge of a ticket. I appreciate it.

Possible duplicated of ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/68337

Anyway, Xcode 15.0.0 has a few issues which related to linker and gcc; as far as I see you're using xcode 15 and probably update of xcode will fix your issue.

Just to clarify, I have the latest version of Xcode 15.0.1, excluding the latest beta. Should I downgrade to Xcode 14 ?

Thank you for looking into it. I have the latest version: Xcode 15.0.1 Build version 15A507

In 9c28a19e57386db254fd93d912cced309518224b/macports-ports (master):

mpi PG: enforce ld_classic for mpich

Closes: #68632

[Matteo-Malve]

The problem persists. Not solved at all. For both 2 people active here. Last suggestiona were:

• Upgrade Xcode, but we both have latest version (Not even CommandLineTools for Xcode15.1 beta2, last release works)
• Downgrade to Xcode 14.x, which is not possible on MacOs Sonoma

Changing an OS is not a solution. Pls fix this installation bug, on which many other libraries depend upon.

[catap (Kirill A. Korinsky)]

Matteo, base on build bot log: ​https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-14_x86_64-builder/builds/9110 I may assume that current failure can be ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/68346 which was reported to upstream and blocked by upstream: ​https://github.com/pmodels/mpich/issues/6684

Possible that all of these mess is came from Xcode 15 bug in linker and everyone is waiting with hope that Xcode 15.1 will clean it up.

P.S. I haven't switched to macOS 14 because it isn't stable enough for my usual using, so, I'm debuging it blindly :(

[catap (Kirill A. Korinsky)]

Seems that update mpich should be enough to fix this, and similar issue.

I'm on this.

[catap (Kirill A. Korinsky)]

A blind shot is ready as ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/21315 ; if you may test it on macOS 14 / arm64 I'll be appricieted

[catap (Kirill A. Korinsky)]

I've updated my test mac mini to

macOS 13.6 22G120 arm64
Xcode 15.0.1 15A507

and had suceffuly install scotch via MacPorts.

May I ask you to make another try?

[SanthoshK-PSI (Santhosh)]

I still have the same error (scotch) while installing petsc, which is what I want to do ultimately

sudo port install petsc +gcc12 +mumps +parmetis

However, fresh install os scotch seems to work

sudo port install scotch

The following dependencies will be installed: 
 gcc13
 gcc13-libcxx
 mpich-default

So, is +gcc12 the problem?
