errors installing and updating

Description

I recently tried to install valgrind using port, but ran into some errors in compiling part of it. So I then ran a selfupdate, but the selfupdate fails as well. The self update fails to make flock. I've looked for similar issues but I can't find a fix. I'll attach the debug results. Is there a fix outside of a clean install?

Do you have anything in /usr/local?

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Do you have anything in /usr/local?

Yes, plenty... why? Here's a listing: 

CUDA-4.2         cuda             include          share
MacGPG2          cula             jacket           tests
Qt4.6            etc              lib              texlive
bin              google_appengine sbin             unittests

Because having software installed there can conflict with software compiled on your machine, including MacPorts. Try moving /usr/local aside, then trying again.

Hmm, that worked. I don't think any of the contents of /usr/local changed recently. I wonder why this hasn't come up in the past. Thank you very much for the help though!

Ok great, glad you got it working. Ideally you could install any software you need by using MacPorts and not need to manually install anything in /usr/local. If there's any software you need that we don't have ports for or that don't work right please file tickets for those so that we can look into fixing it.
