GNU radio fails to install when computing dependencies on mountain lion

[joshj88@…]

Gnuradio fails to install with the error "dependency 'cctools' not found." on mountain lion 10.8 and Xcode 5.1.1 build 5b1008 and macports 2.3.4 it happens no matter weather i reinstall Xcode command line tools or use homebrew to install and link cctools. the command used is "sudo port install gnuradio" any port that relies on gnuradio also fails with the same error.

In future tickets, please Cc any port maintainers (port info --maintainers gnuradio).

Replying to joshj88@…:

Gnuradio fails to install with the error "dependency 'cctools' not found."

This is curious because gnuradio does not directly depend on cctools.

it happens no matter weather i reinstall Xcode command line tools or use homebrew to install and link cctools.

We neither recommend nor support using MacPorts and Homebrew on the same system, as the potential for interference is very high.

the command used is "sudo port install gnuradio" any port that relies on gnuradio also fails with the same error.

Please attach the main.log file referenced at failure, or a transcript of MacPorts’ output when you encounter the error.

As larryv points out, there is very little we can do without a log file. The gnuradio port does indirectly by default have a dependency on cctools, via py27-numpy -> gcc6 -> cctools. You can find this dependency via port rdeps gnuradio. As cctools is provided by MacPorts, it is very strange that port would error out with "dependency 'cctools' not found". Hence the need for a log file.

With no response from the OP, I'm closing this ticket. GR installs work for me & many others, with extremely few exceptions. Most of those exceptions are when some other package manager or packages are installed into a common location (e.g., /usr/include or /Library). I'm guessing this is the case, but without further information I really cannot say. If the OP want to provide information then please do so & reopen this ticket. Thanks for your understanding.
