Description
Several days ago, Octave was updated and I decided it was an optimal time to do a fresh install, as I needed to change a few variants and wanted to make absolutely sure there were no linking problems with components that are optional dependencies of Octave. I had recently noticed vecLibFort and decided to try it out--I am tired of troubleshooting Atlas.
Alas, it would not build. I checked the current Portfile of vecLibFort to make absolutely sure that it had not been revised in the past couple of days since I tried to install it, and found that it is as it was. Perhaps I did something incorrectly, or have something installed that that is interfering, but the vecLibFort has no variants, and I do not use the /usr/share/ directory for anything--it is empty; nor do I have a Fink/Homebrew package manager.
Thus, the problem seems to be that I have
a) installed some MacPorts package that caused the failure,
b) used the wrong compiler, or
c) vecLibFort does not run out-of-the-box on a 10.5.8, PPC 7450
By the way, after some research, I have fallen under the impression that it is Apple's 64-bit Accelerate that has bugs, and the old 32-bit version is OK. Am I correct?
I am attaching the log for the build. Hope this helps prevent any future problems.
