octave: fatal error: curl/types.h: No such file or directory

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

When trying to install port octave on Mountain Lion I'm getting an error:

Error: org.macports.build for port octave returned: command execution failed

And finally:

Error: Processing of port octave failed

This is on Mountain Lion. I have tried the following, without success:

  1. Removed MacPorts completely
  2. Reinstalled MacPorts using 2.1.2 Mountain Lion package
  3. Confirmed Xcode command line tools have been installed
  4. sudo xcodebuild -license (this fixed some prior problems)
  5. sudo port clean octave and then attempted to reinstall
  6. Changed the server in sources.conf to “http://www.macports.org/files/ports.tar.gz [default]“ (this fixed other prior problems)

This all helped with problems getting dependencies built. But no luck yet with octave or octave-devel. I will attach the log file.

Summary: Processing of port octave failed on Mountain Lionoctave: fatal error: curl/types.h: No such file or directory

The relevant error in the log seems to be:

fatal error: curl/types.h: No such file or directory

Try the port octave-devel instead; it's a newer version that might work better.

Thank you. I tried octave-devel and got an error as well. The main.log file is attached here.

I'd prefer to use octave-devel, but when I tried octave-devel on Lion I was unable to get it to recognize the functions from the octave-signal port. With the octave port, I was able to use the octave-signal functions.

I cannot compile octave-devel on Mountain Lion. I have recompiled MacPorts from scratch and compiled all the dependencies for octave-devel, but octave-devel won't compile. I'm attaching the log of my (clean) installation attempt

One solution is to remove the line

#include <curl/types.h>

in

/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_lolc_macports_svn.macports.org_trunk_dports_math_octave/octave/work/octave-3.2.4/src/DLD-FUNCTIONS/urlwrite.cc

This solution was documented at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/octave-bug-tracker/2011-07/msg00031.html.

The above advice did not work for me (my change in the source was ignored), but the following hack did work:

sudo touch /opt/local/include/curl/types.h
