Update of MacPorts base to version 2.0.1 fails

[michelle.lynn.gill@…]

Just attempted to selfupdate MacPorts and the update fails when attempting to install version 2.0.1 of MacPorts base. The output of port -d selfupdate is below, but the relevant portion seems to involve a failure to find a working C compiler.

I tried switching the compiler to both llvm-gcc42 and gcc42 (the ones from XCode) just in case the issue arose from having my default compiler set to one provided by MacPorts. In both cases, the error generated was the same.

According to the debugging output, there is a log file. I searched recursively through my MacPorts install and couldn't find it. If someone tells me where it is, I'm happy to post it.

I'm on Lion using XCode 4.1.

Does /usr/bin/cc work outside of MacPorts?

Replying to jmr@…:

Yes, I should have mentioned that /usr/bin/cc runs fine--I was using it just the other day. To check again, I just wrote a "hello world" program and compiled it by calling the full path for /usr/bin/cc. The compiled binary runs fine.

[michelle.lynn.gill@…]

Ugh, I just realized you're right--/usr/bin/cc doesn't work anymore. I was logged into a different computer when I mentioned using /usr/bin/cc successfully.

This weekend, I reinstalled Lion over my existing install because I had inadvertently nuked Lion's recovery partition. I suspect this removed the command line tools (i.e. /usr/bin/cc), even though it seems to have left XCode itself untouched. I'm reinstalling XCode right now. I will update shortly.

Reinstalling XCode fixed the issue of the missing command line tools. I apologize for not realizing this before filing a ticket. If XCode had also been missing, the problem would have been obvious.

My upgrade to MacPorts 2.0.1 worked after the XCode reinstall.

Thanks

This is still failing.

After upgrading to 2.0.1 on Snow no packages compile.

I've reinstalled Xcode-3.2.6 and still fails.

Did full Macports remove and reinstall from scratch and still fails.

Log attached.

[davidfavor (David Favor)]

No packages might be incorrect.

My install script starts by installing perl and this fails.

Perl is required by many packages, so this is a show stopper.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

That's a completely different problem than the one described in this ticket. Open a new ticket, and attach the debug log.
