In the future, please use WikiFormatting and add the port maintainer(s) to Cc (port info --maintainers ds9), if any.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

And fill in the Port field.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Please attach the main.log file; we can't see what the problem was without that.

I would like to revive this ticket as I'm having the same problem. main.log file is now attached.

as I said yesterday in another ticket about this port, see ​this PR

[carolinestraatman]

If I understand correctly the PR ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/14403 means there is an updated version? In your comment #64897 you mention it works on macOS Catalina. I have Big Sur 11.6.1. I certainly keep having the problem running sudo port install ds9 +x11

[reneeotten (Renee Otten)]

Yes, there is a new version for which I submitted a PR for the maintainer to look at, which hasn’t happened yet. I will notify him again and if there is no response merge the PR. Unless you specifically fetched that PR or copied the Portfile from there and added it to your local tree it’s expected that you still are having issues. Until the PR is merged it will not yet be available to users without their manual intervention.

[carolinestraatman]

Thanks, is there an update as of yet?

[reneeotten (Renee Otten)]

You can try and install the port from the PR as I mentioned above. Leo said he has still issues with it on Monterey nut for me it works fine on Catalina. It would be good to see whether it works for others, so please give that a try and report here whether or not it works for you.

Reporting that unfortunately as of yet neither sudo port install ds9 +x11 nor sudo port -dvt install ds9 works (Monterey).
