You're compiling with llvm-gcc, right? I had the same problem with Xcode 4.0 on Snow Leopard. Then I tried using clang, but it could not compile asymptote.

A patch to upgrade asymptote to version 2.13 and to use gcc-4.2 (which works for me) is in the attachment. Maintainer, may I commit it?

[gleirsch@…]

Where can I quickly find this info? Afaik I did not alter the port settings. Anyway, thanks for recommending a patch.

The default compiler depends on your Xcode and Mac OS X version. llvm-gcc-4.2 is the default compiler of Xcode 4.0 (Snow Leopard) and Xcode 4.1 (Lion).

Anyway, thanks for recommending a patch.

As long as the patch is not committed yet, you can try

sudo port install asymptote configure.compiler=gcc-4.2

to install asymptote.

Thanks. After doing a sudo port clean --dist asymptote your hint worked fine.
