Description (last modified by jmroot (Joshua Root))

I'm new to mac ports and I am trying to install the gsl libraries on my mac (snow leopard). In doing so, I find that I need to install xz, but I get an error when I try to do so:

--->  Computing dependencies for xz
--->  Fetching xz
--->  Attempting to fetch xz-5.0.2.tar.gz from http://ykf.ca.distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/mpdistfiles/xz
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for xz
--->  Extracting xz
--->  Configuring xz
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command failed (see log for details)
Log for xz is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_archivers_xz/main.log
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

I have tried sudo port clean --all xz and then reinstalling, as well as sudo port uninstall xz and then reinstalling, but in all cases I get the above error message. Some help would be appreciated.

lines 233-236 gives you the reason:
/opt/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture

this means that the dylib has eg been compiled on a PPC and then copied over to an core 2 duo

you'll need to recompile at the very least this dylib.

port provides /opt/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib tells us that it's comming from gettext, so try the following:

port -f uninstall gettext
port clean --all gettext
port -f install gettext

and then try to see if things shouldn't work now.

Thank you very much for your help!!!

I have done like you said, but I'm still running into some difficulties. It turns out there were 2 version of gettext installed (0.17_ and 0.18). I successfully uninstalled the 0.17 one

sudo port -f uninstall gettext @0.17_4
--->  Uninstalling gettext @0.17_4

But when I tried uninstalling the 0.18 one, I got

sudo port -f uninstall gettext @0.18.1.1_2
--->  Unable to uninstall gettext 0.18.1.1_2, the following ports depend on it:

Warning: Uninstall forced.  Proceeding despite dependencies.
--->  Deactivating gettext @0.18.1.1_2
--->  Uninstalling gettext @0.18.1.1_2

I'm assuming that gettext got uninstalled inspite of the dependencies. When I tried to install I then got the error message

sudo port -f install gettext

I'm attaching the log for this one as well. Any idea of what's going on ?

you've still got problems with the libintl.8.dylib !
you can see in the logfile that it's referenced from gawk but gawk can't find it !

so, the fact that you had 2 versions installed and that gawk now can't see libintl.8.dylib tells me that gawk has been linked to the old/wrong libintl.8.dylib

you'll have to rebuild all ports that depend on libintl.8.dylib !!!

you do that this way :

port -R upgrade --force gettext

as to log_files, in my experience it's not necessary to look at more than the last 30 or so lines in order to see what's wrong ;-)

Replying to macintosh@…:

I see. This is quite unfortunate.

you do that this way :
port -R upgrade --force gettext

But I can't do what you suggest, as gettext is not installed. (that's the error message I get). And I can't install gettext, because of the problem mentioned above. It sounds like a catch 39.

as to log_files, in my experience it's not necessary to look at more than the last 30 or so lines in order to see what's wrong ;-)

Thanks :)

Well, now that you've uninstalled gettext, its dependents, including gawk, definitely aren't going to work. So you'll have to uninstall gawk as well.

comment:8 Changed 13 years ago by BjarneDMat

mmm ... try port -R upgrade --force gawk

if that doesn't work:

port -f uninstall gawk
port clean --all gawk
port -f install gawk

If you've still got problem after this, we might have to resort to re-building your entire port-system, but hopefully it doesn't come to this as gettext is one of the basic ports - I've got 43 ports that depend on it !!!

Replying to macintosh@…:

mmm ... try port -R upgrade --force gawk

That didn't work but...

if that doesn't work:

port -f uninstall gawk
port clean --all gawk
port -f install gawk

This did work!! The output was as expected:

sudo port -f install gawk
--->  Computing dependencies for gawk
--->  Dependencies to be installed: gettext
--->  Configuring gettext
--->  Building gettext
--->  Staging gettext into destroot
--->  Installing gettext @0.18.1.1_2

--->  Cleaning gettext

--->  Building gawk

I have now managed to continue with my gsl installation. Thank you very much for ally our help!
