qt4-mac not being installed

[beusapu@…]

Sorry if I'm not doing this the right way, but I don't know anything about computers. I'm just trying to get a program to work on my computer, and I get an error:

sudo port install cockatrice

Please use WikiFormatting and preview your post when posting in Trac. When reporting bugs against ports, please Cc the maintainer of the port that failed (port info --maintainer qt4-mac) and set the port field.

Please attach the main.log mentioned in the error message (possibly compressing it using gzip first to reduce its size).

I think I figured it out and attached the log. Sorry for my inexperience.

The log is just for part of configure; having the rest might help. Can you please do the following:

sudo port clean qt4-mac
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install qt4-mac

and if that errors out, do:

cp `port logfile qt4-mac` ~/Desktop/qt4-mac-log.txt
bzip2 ~/Desktop/qt4-mac-log.txt

and then attach the compressed logfile.

I found this link ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37368

I followed the instructions there, and it worked!

Thanks for the help

Duplicate of #37368.

I'm glad you got qt4-mac installed ... but I'm curious: what specific instructions worked for you? I don't know that ticket #37368 was ever really resolved except eventually things worked.
