While trying to install xar I saw this error:

/opt/local/share/automake-1.16/config.guess should exist, provided by the automake port, which is a dependency of xar. Reinstall automake?

The log actually says

:debug:configure upgrade autoconf failed

comment:3 Changed 16 months ago by programmingkidx

@ryandesign I ran 'sudo port install automake' and was told I had to reinstall all these ports:

--->  Found 106 broken files, matching files to ports    
Warning: No port ld64-136 found in the index; can't rebuild
--->  Found 27 broken ports, determining rebuild order
You can always run 'port rev-upgrade' again to fix errors.
The following ports will be rebuilt:
 p7zip @9.04
 db48 @4.8.30+java+universal
 opensp @1.5.2+universal
 openjade @1.3.2+universal
 icu @54.1+universal
 graphite2 @1.2.4+universal
 tiff @4.0.3+universal
 djvulibre @3.5.25+universal
 ilmbase @1.0.2+universal
 openexr @1.7.0+universal
 db46 @4.6.21+universal
 boost @1.57.0+no_single+no_static+python27+universal
 source-highlight @3.1.7+universal
 pcre @8.38+universal
 glib2 @2.48.0+universal

 gnutls @3.4.11+universal
 llvm-3.4 @3.4.2+universal
 ld64-127 @127.2+llvm34+universal
 cctools @862+llvm34+universal
 clang-3.4 @3.4.2+universal
 gperf @3.0.4
 mesa @7.6.1+hw_render

I then said yes and libedit as fetched. It then failed to build. This is what it said:

Error: Failed to configure libedit

I looked at its log and saw this familar sight

configure:3199: /opt/local/bin/clang-mp-3.4 --version >&5
dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/libexec/llvm-3.4/lib/libLLVM-3.4.dylib
  Referenced from: /opt/local/libexec/llvm-3.4/bin/clang
  Reason: Incompatible library version: clang requires version 1.0.0 or later, but libLLVM-3.4.dylib provides version 0.0.0
./configure: line 3201:   552 Trace/BPT trap          $CC --version 1>&5
configure:3210: $? = 133


Is there anyone who has Mac OS 10.6 who can confirm anything I am seeing?

your ports are extremely outdated.

ld64-136 was removed about 5 years ago. Your libffi is several years out too.

IMHO start over. deactivate everything, or better yet uninstall everything as much is broken, run selfupdate, then install what you want to install.

also make sure your macports.conf is current, not from 2016 or similar.

So I ran 'sudo port -fp uninstall installed'. This took out everything. Then I deleted the 'local' folder in the opt folder. I then installed MacPorts 2.8.0. Finally I tried to install xar. It appeared to have worked. Thank you Ken for the advice.

So now I have to install everything again :( Maybe more of these packages could come as binary installs. It would save a ton of time.

glad it's working! A large number of these builds are available on the MacPorts binaries server, but I saw you had quite a few universal ports, and there are fewer of those.

Glad you're along for the SnowLeopard ride -- I know you can fix and PR things, and we'd all very much appreciate you tossing up any fixes you do along the way for us all to share in.

I just fixed nearly all the outstanding Tiger tickets, and working on Leopard tickets now.
