gmp @6.1.1: error: C++ compiler not available, see config.log for details

[alexmartin715@…]

I have installed the latest Xcode (8.0) and command line tools. When I run

sudo port install gmp +universal

I get:

--->  Fetching distfiles for gmp
--->  Verifying checksums for gmp
--->  Extracting gmp

--->  Configuring gmp
Error: Failed to configure gmp, consult /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_gmp/gmp/work/gmp-6.1.1-x86_64/config.log

I have tried cleaning and I have attached the config.log and main.log

gmp built successfully on our Sierra buildbot worker, which suggests a problem on your machine. Are you certain you installed both Xcode 8 and the Xcode 8 version of the command line tools?

[a.j.martin@…]

Thanks, for the reply it could quite well be something on my machine. I have reinstalled Xcode and it is version 8. I did the command to install command line tools also and it says already installed, for updates go through the App Store and there are none available.

gmp built manually and passd all tests, but complained when installing via macports on my machine. I have Xcode 8 and the correct command line tool installed.

Same error message. Xcode and command line tools are installed as well.

[andre.david@…]

FWIW, I just processed my upgrade and gmp @6.1.1_0+universal installed without issue.

[shiqiu.iub@…]

the problem appears to your older version of macports. Remove your macports completely as instructed and reinstall. In this way, gmp builds fine on my machine.

[arthur.michaut@…]

You are right. I completely removed the old version by removing /opt/local and installed the new version. The installation of the gmp port went smoothly afterwards. Problem solved for me.

This works fine for me thanks for the advice! gmp now installs.

Just went through migration process from El Capitan to Sierra (10.12.1), and even trying

sudo port install gmp @6.1.1_0+universal

failed. Error in configure, I thing at:

:debug:configure could not read "/opt/local/share/man/man5/stab.5.gz": no such file or directory
    while executing

And, alas, that prevents reinstalling lots of other ports, since gcc depends on gmp, among others.

This error seems to be limited to specific machines, especially if reinstalling MacPorts fixed it.

I just followed the migration instructions, after moving to a new computer. Yet, I could not get gmp to build. I had reinstalled macports and also tried reinstalling xcode. Finally, I deleted all of /opt/local and then fully reinstalled macports, and then was able to get gmp to configure. So, something is wrong with where the gmp port leaves something when building.

gmp has been upgraded since this ticket was opened.
Would you please post the new main.log.
