SETB-MOBL-M104:~ setbc$ sudo port -d install coreutils +i386 +x86_64
DEBUG: Found port in ​file:///opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/sysutils/coreutils
Warning: Implicit variants should not be explicitly set or unset. i386 will be ignored.

Note that you don't select the +i386 or +powerpc variant manually; MacPorts selects it for you when it's appropriate (based on your hardware).

Note that there is never a variant called +x86_64, or +ppc, or +ppc64. If it's your intention to install coreutils with both the i386 and x86_64 architectures, then you want the +universal variant, and to set universal_archs to "x86_64 i368" in macports.conf. (This is the default for universal_archs on Snow Leopard.)

checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

This error usually means you don't have Xcode installed.

If you upgraded from a previous Mac OS X version, you may have an older Xcode installed. If so, upgrade to Xcode 3.2 or later. ​Current version is 3.2.1.

If you upgraded from a previous Mac OS X version, uninstall all ports and reinstall them now that you have Snow Leopard. For more, see Migration.

[jacksmoo111@…]

I already Have Xcode

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Which version?

Could you attach the config.log? Maybe it will tell us more.

[jacksmoo111@…]

latest Version Where is config.log i installed macports by dmg

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to jacksmoo111@…:

latest Version

So that's 3.2.1?

Where is config.log

In the expat source directory, which is in the directory identified by the command port work expat

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The problem is definitely:

configure:2498: /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -O2 -arch i386 x86_64 -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib conftest.c  >&5
i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1: x86_64: No such file or directory

It thinks "x86_64" is a file it should be compiling. Assuming you are using the +universal variant, it should say "-arch i386 -arch x86_64" to indicate that we want two architectures. I'm unsure how the architectures ended up smooshed together like that. If you are not using the +universal variant, it should just say "-arch x86_64". Could you attach your macports.conf as well? Please add a comment when you have; Trac doesn't send email notifications when you attach files.

[jacksmoo111@…]

where is macports.conf

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to jacksmoo111@…:

where is macports.conf

/opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf

I am able to reproduce your issue if I set build_arch to "i386 x86_64" in macports.conf. If you've set build_arch that way, then please change it back to "x86_64" only. build_arch is not intended to have more than one value. If you want to build for multiple architectures at once, then you need to set universal_archs instead and use the +universal variant when installing ports.

[jacksmoo111@…]

i dident mean to compile in 64 bit it doent matter what arch i compile in just get macports working

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

As you see, on line 59 of your macports.conf, you've set "build_arch i386 x86_64". This isn't a legal value for build_arch. It must be a single architecture only. Since you are on Snow Leopard, the default is "x86_64", and that is the value you should set build_arch to unless you have a specific reason not to.

I've filed #22557 requesting MacPorts base detect an improper value in build_arch and alert the user, rather than trying to proceed and causing the more-confusing situation you encountered.

[jacksmoo111@…]

everything works :-}

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

A suggested prevention for this is in #22557.
