mesa: extract failed: Cannot hard link

[sflagan@…]

Hi,

I am a novice when it comes to unix commands. I am trying to use MacPorts to install Arb and get the following error message:

sudo port install arb
--->  Computing dependencies for arb

I have run selfupdate and upgrade outdated. I installed the latest version of MacPorts on my MacBook running Snow Leopard. I have attached the log file. Any help is appreciated!

Thank you.

Mesa is having problems extracting. The log is full of lines like:

/usr/bin/gnutar: Mesa-7.10.3/src/mesa/drivers/dri/r300/compiler/memory_pool.c: Cannot hard link to `Mesa-7.10.3/src/mesa/drivers/dri/r300/compiler/memory_pool.c': (null)

But it was not a clean attempt. (The log says "Skipping completed".) Please clean and try again.

sudo port clean mesa
