Please run exactly these commands…

…then attach the main.log upon failure.

Log fiile post commands

Hello Larry,

Post running the commands.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

That's not the right log. It appears to show the successful installation of libgcc.

Sometimes when dependencies need to be installed or upgraded the wrong port's log gets written to the file (#37093). Clean and try again and hopefully it'll write it correctly this time.

Still the same thing re-did the commands again. Get the same message and the log entereies.

May we please have the main.log file that was created as a result of running those commands?

I'm having the same issue here. I've attached my log file in case that helps. FYI, I have R running perfectly on one machine. I installed some weeks ago. I did a port upgrade last night with no issue. The log is from another machine that was fresh with no attempt to install R prior to last night. The difference between the two that stood out to me is that the first machine was using macport 2.1.x and the new machine 2.2.x at the time I tried to install R.

Same problem here... but I've installed the older revision (106554) and it worked!

First error in the log is

:info:build In file included from /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/Foundation.h:123:0,
:info:build                  from /System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Headers/Cocoa.h:12,
:info:build                  from qdCocoa.h:39,
:info:build                  from qdCocoa.m:24:
:info:build /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/NSTask.h:69:24: error: expected identifier or '(' before '^' token

Is this still a problem with 3.1.2?

[kjellpk (Kjell Konis)]

I think this problem was due to compiling the one objective C file in the R sources with mp gcc rather than the Apple provided compiler. Anyway, the R port now uses mp gcc (gfortran actually) to compile the fortran sources and the Apple provided compilers to compile everything else so I don't think this should be an issue any longer.

Presumed fixed.
