Ticket #43949, comment 8
v1 v2 4 4 Well actually I originally got the error for 'gettext', and just like this case, cleaning and re-trying the install didn't work; I could manually unzip the file, but MacPorts still failed to do so. So I tried a 'port selfupdate' and updated all the ports, and still had the problem (looks like I forgot to run 'port clean gettext' though; instead I tried running 'port update outdated' and 'port update gettext'). I think I started seeing the same failure with other ports at that time (e.g. when I ran 'port update outdated'?) so I figured [recalling some bad memories of FreeBSD 7 ports going wrong] I'd managed to mess up the whole MacPorts installation, somehow. (Again, from my command history it doesn't look like I ran 'port clean'). I tried reverting to the previous version of MacPorts to see if it made a difference (I think I did indeed pick up a version update when I ran 'port selfupdate') but found that it immediately auto-updates itself to the latest version anyway (at least when using the downloaded installer). 5 5 6 So... then I basically followed the directions [ here https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration] to uninstall and clean all my ports, and reinstalled MacPorts just to be sure... Then the first thing I did with my (presumably) clean install was 'port install gcc49' and that started failing with this 'gmp' error. Out of curiosity, I then tried 'port install gettext' and to my surprise, that now installed fine.6 So... then I basically followed the directions [wiki:Migration here] to uninstall and clean all my ports, and reinstalled MacPorts just to be sure...
