libxc{5,6}: xc-info is linked incorrectly

[ftroisi]

Hello,

I have a Mac Mini (Apple Silicon M1), running Ventura 13.4.1. I tried to install the port libxc5, but it fails. It tries to build it three times and then stops. Before trying to install libxc5, I installed the following ports with their dependencies (in this order): gcc12, openmpi-gcc12 +fortran, autoconf, automaker, libtool.

I attach the result of the command port -d -y rev-upgrade.

Could you please look into this? Best ftroisi

The broken linking of xc-info is certainly present in the current binaries, so that needs to be fixed. Please attach the main.log from the failed build attempt, in case it shows other issues that also need to be addressed.

[ftroisi]

I tried executing sudo port install -v -d libxc5 to generate the main.log (as you suggest here ​https://guide.macports.org/chunked/using.html#using.port.install). However, when I execute port logfile libxc5, it says "Error: the logfile for port libxc5 not found"

Any suggestions on how to locate it?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Sounds like it didn't actually fail to install then, it was just rev-upgrade that failed afterwards because it found the broken linking even after rebuilding.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

For future reference though, the -k option will cause logs (and indeed the whole work directory) to be kept even after a successful installation, and if you want to re-run a build when the port is already installed, the easiest way to do so is to run sudo port destroot <portname>.

thanks a lot for tip! Yes the installation is actually fine, it fails at the activation stage:

---> Computing dependencies for libxc5
---> Installing libxc5 @5.2.3_1
---> Activating libxc5 @5.2.3_1
---> Scanning binaries for linking errors
---> Found 1 broken file, matching files to ports

I also attach the main.log generated via the -k flag

libxc{5,6}: use autotools, to fix rpath issue

• Use major ver for bin suffix
• Also create bin symlinks

Fixes: #67715

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

Francesco, the issue is now fixed. Wait at least three hours, then run sudo port selfupdate, followed by sudo port -N upgrade outdated.

And please let us know whether all if well after updating!

Thanks a lot f0r fixing this, everything looks fine for both libxc5 and libxc6

This did not happen before – earlier the port built through completion, but then port scan complained and wanted to rebuild. Now it just fails.

Sergey, that's a different issue, and PPC-specific. So please open another ticket.

Great, glad it's working for you Francesco!
