Cannot install koffice on 10.6.8 because /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Resources/tclIndex is missing

[patrick.gill@…]

I cannot install kdebase3 on Ma 10.6.8 because the file "/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Resources/tclIndex" is missing. This file seems to be missing for others and causes trouble in several other tickets too, but I thought reporting it here would be helpful.

To replicate the problem, follow sample output with MacPorts 2.0.3 and OS X 10.6.8:

$ sudo port install koffice

In the log file, there will be the line:

:debug:patch couldn't open "/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Resources/tclIndex": no such file or directory

I think that's the culprit. I'm attaching the full log file in case.

Thanks for your help with this! It looks like I'm not the only one with trouble finding /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Resources/tclIndex; the directory is there, but no file.

No, the tclIndex messages are irrelevant, and the log you attached is also not usable because it is not from a clean build (it contains lines "Skipping completed"). Clean and try again and attach that main.log.

sudo port clean koffice

Note there is another existing ticket about koffice not working (#29583); the koffice port is old and it would surprise me if it worked at all anymore.
