gmp @6.0.0: configure fails

[erik.mccaffrey@…]

Hello. I am trying to install OpenFOAM on my 2010 macbook pro i5 running 10.6.8.

I am following the directions from here: ​http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Mac_OS/OpenFOAM_2.1.x#Get_the_OpenFOAM_source_code_and_patches

I get to step 5 to install GCC 4.6 and I enter 'sudo port install gcc46' into terminal.

I have tried re-inputting the install command, per the suggestions on the first help page, which picks up the install at the point of failure.

I have tried searching for gmp install failure and failure to configure gmp.

I am a complete noob at using terminal, so assume I know absolutely nothing (because I don't know anything).

Thank you for your help.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Please "sudo port clean gmp", then try again, then when it fails again, attach the main.log file to this ticket.

Main log per request by helper

[erik.mccaffrey@…]

Thank you for replying so quickly.

I tried the command and it did not improve anything. It appears to be the same error:

The log says:

error: could not find a working compiler, see config.log for details

The obvious question would be: did you install Xcode? It is required.

If that's not it, please attach the config.log.

[erik.mccaffrey@…]

I installed Xcode and also installed macports via installer. I just opened Xcode and it is working.

Attached is the config.log that I found through Spotlight.

Your problem likely is

conftest.c:6:38: error: /usr/local/include/string.h: Permission denied

You cannot safely have files in /usr/local while using MacPorts, especially none shadowing system headers like string.h. Please move this file out of the way or outright delete it. You can also use trace mode sudo port -t install --unrequested gmp for this installation, which will have a performance overhead, but avoid problems like these.

[erik.mccaffrey@…]

I do not see the file string.h in the directory. I see this for files in there:

faac.h
faaccfg.h
>fuse
	>fuse_common_compat.h
	>fuse_common.h
	>fuse_compat.h
	>fuse_darwin.h
	>fuse_lowlevel_compat.h
	>fuse_lowlevel.h
	>fuse_opt.h
	>fuse.h
fuse.h

I have files in the /usr/local folder for other purposes (Active perl, Remote software access etc). Should I move those elsewhere temporarily while installing this?

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

/usr/local/include/string.h does not have to exist for this error message to be printed – your /usr/local/include or /usr/local directory might lack read and execute permissions for the macports user, which would cause the same issues. Please check the permissions.

You should always have an empty /usr/local when using MacPorts – that's because MacPorts cannot easily prevent compilers and configure scripts from picking up headers and libraries in /usr/local. In practice, the damage potential isn't that high if you only have a few obscure things in /usr/local and don't build ports that use those. In your case, e.g., having fuse headers in /usr/local could cause problems with anything using fuse in MacPorts. Same for FAAC.

That being said, MacPorts does have a generic method to avoid stuff in /usr/local, which, however, comes at a performance overhead due to how it is implemented – and that's trace mode. I think repeating your installation using sudo port clean gmp; sudo port -t install --unrequested gmp should successfully finish.

[erik.mccaffrey@…]

Thanks for all your help! I was able to get this step to work. I did what you said and I also altered the permissions for the folder so that I could write to it.

Unfortunately I ran afoul in later steps of the install when the patches I had to install via terminal would not properly execute. Oh well. I really appreciate you helping me though, and I learned about terminal and had a peak under the Mac OSX hood, so to speak.

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

Am I correct in assuming that the failing patches are not related to MacPorts and this ticket can be closed?

[erik.mccaffrey@…]

Yes that is correct. Once again, thank you for your help. Please close the ticket.
