In the future, please fill in the Port field and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers scalapack), if any.

I get this too. I looked for more info in BLACS/INSTALL/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log and it says:

Determining if the Fortran compiler supports Fortran 90 passed with the following output:

This issue was reported for homebrew also (but no more information provided unfortunately): ​https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science/issues/3042

Ok I have found the real error info, in BLACS/INSTALL/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log:

Apparently this is actually a system bug as noted in ticket #53151

[seanfarley (Sean Farley)]

Damn.

[gaming-hacker (G Alexander)]

can't you build it by hand? i cringe when i see cmake being used. download the src tarball, configure the makefile? i don't know why you need sys libs, these are number crunching routines.

[aaschwanden (Andy Aschwanden)]

I eventually found a solution to this, see ​https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/v8-users/JfOxG8xiH6M.

It appears the the wrong

ld

command (the one from MacPorts in /opt/local/bin' is used. A workaround is to rename

/opt/local/bin/ld

before compiling scalapack and then undo the change afterwards. This lets me compile scalapack successfully.

There might be a more elegant solution, but I'm not a MacPorts expert.

[seanfarley (Sean Farley)]

Thanks for the tip, Andy! I'll try it out this weekend.

[seanfarley (Sean Farley)]

Finally figured out the fix for this, committed here: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/9b1bac79563d8402d6352ffb0a86c9f3bad9fe88

Basically, just make sure port install ld64 +ld64_xcode is active. Then it'll compile and run.
