fltk-devel not building

[matthias@…]

When I try to install fltk-devel, I get the following:

sudo port install fltk-devel
--->  Computing dependencies for fltk-devel
--->  Fetching archive for fltk-devel
--->  Attempting to fetch fltk-devel-1.3.x-r10542_0.darwin_14.x86_64.tbz2 from http://nue.de.packages.macports.org/macports/packages/fltk-devel

Then it stays like this forever (I killed it after a few days).

Please try again with the debug flag:

sudo port -d install fltk-devel

When it hangs, please show us the last few lines of output.

Even better, do:

sudo port clean fltk-devel
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port -d install fltk-devel

and, then if it hangs cut the last few pages of the debug output & attach them here. You'll have the latest port version and we can maybe start debugging the issue.

Ok, I tried this. No issues this time. It just worked. Hmmmm.

"Cruft happens": sometimes the system and/or port get into a naughty state. Rebooting often takes care of the issue; sometimes doing a Disk Utility permissions repair does. Sometimes getting port to clean itself up does too. MacPorts is an evolving project; what worked 6 months ago might not work today without updating due to Apple system updates. We try to keep on top of all of these, but we can't catch everything. Hence, "cruft happens". Thanks for reporting back!
