sudo port install octave-optim failed

I ran sudo port install octave-optim and got the following error message:

This is on OSX 10.9.4. The problem is relatively new. Last week I successfully installed it using this command. Since then, I have reinstalled my operating system and restored from a time machine backup. MacPorts only partially reinstalled, leaving me with a gcc with no libraries (no stdio.h!). To solve this, I uninstalled MacPorts according to the following directions: ​https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html After reinstalling MacPorts, I am now reinstalling the software I had on it before, including octave and its packages. Right now, I have no packages, not even general, installed on octave.

sudo port install octave-general also failed.

Thanks, Steven
