alex @3.2.7.1: ld: file not found: /usr/lib/system/libsystem_darwin.dylib

[Darooha (Danny Sleator)]

I'm running macOS Sierra 10.12.6. I tried to update my version of texlive by doing this:

sudo port upgrade texlive-bin

After a long time it got stuck at a point where it was installing alex. Below I have put the contents of the file:

/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_alex/alex/main.log

which I hope can help somebody help me to fix this problem.

Right now pdflatex is totally broken, because it apparently did part of the install but it did not complete. When I run pdflatex I get this error:

$ pdflatex exam.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.24 (TeX Live 2022/MacPorts 2022.62882_2) (preloaded format=pdflatex)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
---! /opt/local/var/db/texmf/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex.fmt made by different executable version, strings are different
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

Any help would be appreciated. If I can get the old working install back that would be better than nothing. Thanks.

[kencu (Ken)]

at the moment, alex and most (all?) of the ghc infrastructure are not working on systems < 10.13 in MacPorts.

eg:

​https://ports.macports.org/port/alex/builds/

If you can roll back to the last working version you have of the software you want (texlive-bin) you might be OK for a while. You can do this by activating an already-installed version, if you have it:

sudo port activate texlive-bin

there can be troubles with this, as when some things are updated and some things are not updated, things get out-of-sync and failures can happen.

Some of us are working on getting the ghc stuff working on older systems again. It is possible.
