Error: Processing of port py27-matplotlib failed

[harrison@…]

Hi All,

I am very much a noob and am trying to install scipy via the instructions here for Mac - ​http://www.scipy.org/install.html - I am on Yoesmite 10.10.2 and Xcode 6.1.1. I have tried cleaning and following some other threads with the same error to find a solution but none seem to be working.

The error in Terminal is -

Error: org.macports.build for port py27-matplotlib returned: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port py27-matplotlib for details:
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_python_py-matplotlib/py27-matplotlib/main.log
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
    http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port py27-matplotlib failed

I've also attached the main.log

This was not a clean build. Please ​clean and try again and attach the new main.log if it fails again.

The error in your log is:

ImportError: dlopen(/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/multiarray.so, 2): no suitable image found.  Did find:
    /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/multiarray.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture

If that same error persists after cleaning and trying again, the first question would be: what is the architecture of that file? You can find out by running:

lipo -info /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/multiarray.so

I see you are requesting a universal build. The above file is provided by the py27-numpy port, which is listed as a dependency of py27-matplotlib, so MacPorts should have already ensured that py27-matplotlib is installed with the universal variant (meaning: with the correct architectures) before ever attempting to build py27-matplotlib. To verify this, you can also run:

port -v installed py27-numpy

[harrison@…]

So I've been trying a bunch of things but still getting errors. So I try and clean with

sudo port clean py27-matplotlib

Then I run

sudo port install py27-numpy py27-scipy py27-matplotlib py27-ipython +notebook py27-pandas py27-sympy py27-nose

Which Results in:

Error: Processing of port py27-matplotlib failed

So I run the next two commands you suggest and here are my results:

lipo -info /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/multiarray.so
Non-fat file: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/multiarray.so is architecture: i386

port -v installed py27-numpy
The following ports are currently installed:
py27-numpy @1.9.1_2+gfortran+universal (active) platform='darwin 14' archs='i386 x86_64'

Any ideas?

Has probable duplicate #48001.

Cc Me ! Cleaning did not work.

To me this looks like more like a numpy issue really. I therefore CC the maintainers of py-numpy. Note also that the following ticket might be related: #47359

This works for me and has been five months.
