paraview @5.5.2: fails to build properly on Mojave

[kennethchall]

I am trying to build paraview using MacPorts on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) recently upgraded to Mojave. I went through the process of migrating my MacPorts installation using the procedure described at wiki:Migration. I then tried to install paraview. The dependent ports seems to install OK, but the paraview install failed about 92% though the build according to the build log (attached). I did a port clean paraview then tried to install again. Same thing. Log is attached. Here is the screen output:
