py27-graph-tool: error: pycairo headers not found

[cpdiehl@…]

Still struggling to install py27-graph-tool on one of my machines. Here's what I'm seeing.

Digging into the log file, I see the place where things go off the rails.

Running those commands myself, I see the following from the configure statement:

Here are the py27-graph-tool dependencies that are active on my machine:

The following ports are currently installed:
  boost @1.52.0_1+no_single+no_static+python27 (active)
  cairomm @1.10.0_1 (active)
  cgal @4.1_0 (active)
  expat @2.1.0_0 (active)
  graphviz @2.28.0_9 (active)
  pkgconfig @0.27.1_1 (active)
  py27-gobject3 @3.2.2_0 (active)
  py27-numpy @1.6.2_1 (active)
  py27-scipy @0.11.0_0+gcc45 (active)
  python27 @2.7.3_1 (active)

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling boost different ways and to no avail. Definitely out of ideas. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Please attach the complete main.log. Running the failing command manually does not necessarily give the same output because MacPorts runs them as a different user and sets quite a list of environment variables.

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

Also please set the port field and Cc the maintainer, if any.

Just attached main.log as requested. Thanks for taking a look.

py-cairo was recently unified; perhaps files have moved and py-graph-tool needs to be updated to find them.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Since py-graph-tool is itself looking for py-cairo, py-graph-tool probably needs its own dependency on py-cairo, for orderly housekeeping. That probably doesn't change the error however.

[mamoll (Mark Moll)]

Fixed in r100371.

[cpdiehl@…]

FYI. Doing a 'sudo port clean --all py27-graph-tool' and 'sudo port install py27-graph-tool' caused the system to still break in the same spot. Given the previous reference to py-cairo, on a whim, I did a 'sudo port install py-cairo' and then repeated the above. It got past the configuration stage and is now building. So adding that dependency seems like it would help.

[mamoll (Mark Moll)]

That is very odd, since py-cairo doesn't install anything useful for building code:

> port contents py-cairo
Port py-cairo contains:
  /opt/local/share/doc/py-cairo/README

[mamoll (Mark Moll)]

It compiles fine on the buildbot, too: ​https://build.macports.org/builders/buildports-lion-x86_64/builds/6371/steps/status/logs/portstatus

[cpdiehl@…]

Very bizarre. I honestly don't know what changed then.

The dependency on py${python.version}-cairo was added in r100371. Please attach a main.log of the build failure if you can still reproduce it.

On the Lion buildbot yes. But the Snow Leopard buildbot oddly got stuck and the build aborted: ​https://build.macports.org/builders/buildports-snowleopard-x86_64/builds/12885/steps/compile/logs/stdio ("command timed out: 1200 seconds without output, attempting to kill")

[mamoll (Mark Moll)]

It's not *that* odd. Graph-tool needs massive amounts of memory. The compilation process probably starts swapping at some point. Even if the buildbots for the different os versions are configured the same, it is possible that the compiler on snow leapord uses even more memory and starts swapping even sooner.
