Problem building libical

[macports@…]

This appears the be a duplicate of the closed ticket #22089, except that, unlike the reporter of the earlier bug, I was not able to resolve it by a clean rebuild. A clean rebuild produced the same results as before. This is under Snow Leopard and XCode 3.2.1:

[macports@…]

build error

Did you upgrade from an older OS release, and if so, did you follow the Migration instructions?

Replying to jmr@…:

Did you upgrade from an older OS release, and if so, did you follow the Migration instructions?

I did upgrade from Leopard, and was unaware of the procedure given in the Migration instructions. Unfortunately, after a complete clean and uninstall, as recommended in those instructions, the build of libical still results in the same error I originally reported.

Given that it installs fine here, and the other person found that it worked after cleaning, I really have to suspect that you haven't cleaned up the old build. Attach the full output of sudo port -d install libical.

[macports@…]

Thanks for your help. I share your suspicion that the old build is not completely cleaned up, but I don't know what's left after:

sudo port clean all
sudo port -f uninstall installed

I have attached the output from 'sudo port -d install libical'.

The port was doing something a bit strange; try again after r60148 hits rsync (though I still don't know why it would fail for you but not me).

[macports@…]

It is indeed strange. As you say, something must not have cleared, because after completely deleting all MacPorts files and then re-installing MacPorts, the libical build succeeds. This ticket can be closed.
