ld64: dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/libexec/llvm-3.9/lib/libLTO.dylib

Ran port selfupdate followed by port upgrade outdated. It stopped during the update of py36-scipy. I tried to clean and redo, same, to de-install and re-install, same.

The log says the reason for the crash was:

:info:build collect2: fatal error: ld terminated with signal 6 [Abort trap: 6]
:info:build compilation terminated.
:info:build dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/libexec/llvm-3.9/lib/libLTO.dylib
:info:build   Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/ld
:info:build   Reason: image not found

It seems your ld is still linked with an llvm 3.9 library, although llvm 3.9 was made obsolete. The llvm39 variant was removed from the ld64 port, but the revision was not increased, leaving any users who had the port installed with that variant with broken installations.

There are several subports of ld64 that provide different versions of ld64. Since you're on Sierra, you're probably using ld64-latest, and you could fix the immediate problem by reinstalling ld64-latest with a newer llvm variant. (See port variants ld64-latest for the available options.)

However ld64-latest is not actually that new: it currently contains the version of ld64 that shipped with Xcode 8.2.1. Your log shows you are using Xcode 9.2, so using ld64 from Xcode 8.2.1 with that may not always work.

Until we update ld64-latest to a newer version, it's probably better to install the ld64 port with the +ld64_xcode variant, so that MacPorts will just use the ld64 from Xcode itself:

sudo port install ld64 +ld64_xcode

the recent update to ld64 should have pulled in a new llvm variant for you.

Thank you for this update but I am still unable to build py36-scipy|py37-scipy...

We have moved on to a new issue causing breakage for you:

:info:build clang++: scipy/fft/_pocketfft/pypocketfft.cxx
:info:build scipy/_lib/_uarray/_uarray_dispatch.cxx:109:1: error: thread-local storage is not supported for the current target
:info:build thread_local std::unordered_map<
:info:build ^

Nobody promises there can be only one issue :>

The /usr/bin/clang that comes with macOS 10.10 is quite dated, and does not support thread_local. This is a different problem, should be a new ticket. Surprisingly, I don't see an open ticket for this issue already. The Portfile will need to be updated to reflect this.

For now the way to move past this error (and hopefully there will be no more, but no promises!) is to force the use of a newer compiler. The following steps usually will work:

sudo port clean py36-scipy
sudo port -v install clang-9.0
sudo port -v install py36-scipy configure.compiler=macports-clang-9.0

Best of luck!

As in all situations, it is much better to try to help the luck: thanks a lot for your help of the luck... and me.

Hopefully, it was the sole issue and py36-scipy|py37-scipy are now compiled/builded without trouble :-)
