p5.12-getopt-long: No such file or directory during installation

[him@…]

I'm unable to build and install p5.12-getopt-long. I've run selfupdate a number of times to no avail. p5.12-getopt-long-descriptive installs fine. I'm clueless. Thoughts?

Xcode 4.2.1 Build 4D502.

This was not a clean build attempt. Clean the affected port and try again.

sudo port clean p5.12-getopt-long

Replying to ryandesign@…:

This was not a clean build attempt. Clean the affected port and try again.

sudo port clean p5.12-getopt-long

This worked – any idea why?

At some point in the past, you tried to install p5.12-getopt-long and either you interrupted it or it failed, either for the reason cited in the log above or for some other reason; there's no way to tell anymore. Then, before filing this ticket, you tried again to install p5.12-getopt-long and it tried to pick up where it left off last time and failed as per the attached log. Cleaning and trying again allowed MacPorts to try again from the beginning, this time succeeding, perhaps due to improvements made in this or other MacPorts ports since the time you first tried to install this port.

"Clean and try again" is the first thing you should try anytime any port fails.
