pcre: libbz2 was not found

[renz@…]

sudo port install py25-scipy on Mac OS X 10.6.8 resulted this error:

Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command failed (see log for details)
Log for pcre is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_pcre/pcre/main.log

Log for pcre

I got the exact same message with py27-scipy.

The error says:

:info:configure ** Cannot --enable-pcregrep-libbz2 because libbz2 was not found

This is curious since pcre does declare a dependency on the bzip2 port. Is the bzip2 port installed and active? What does "port -v installed bzip2" and "port contents bzip2" show?

[renz@…]

% port -v installed bzip2
The following ports are currently installed:
  bzip2 @1.0.5_3+darwin
  bzip2 @1.0.6_0 platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64'
  bzip2 @1.0.6_0+universal (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='i386 x86_64'

% port contents bzip2
Port bzip2 contains:
  /opt/local/bin/bunzip2
  /opt/local/bin/bzcat
  /opt/local/bin/bzcmp
  /opt/local/bin/bzdiff

That looks pretty normal. Could you also attach the config.log file, inside the directory identified by the command "port work pcre"?

[renz@…]

.../pcre/work/pcre-8.12/config.log

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ok, that provides the clue:

ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libbz2.dylib, file was built for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (i386)

So, although MacPorts thinks, as shown in your "port -v installed bzip2" output above, that it installed bzip2 universal for i386 x86_64, it doesn't actually contain the i386 part. So rebuild bzip2.

sudo port -n upgrade --force bzip2

Thanks. This fixed the problem.

Great, glad you got it working.
