= Mavericks Problems =

== General Issues ==

First of all, please read [wiki:Migration].

== Updating MacPorts Base ==

Versions of MacPorts built on 10.8 or lower will fail to install packages on Mavericks because of a missing `/usr/bin/gnutar`. The solution to that problem is to re-install MacPorts using the [https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.2.1-10.9-Mavericks.pkg installer for Mavericks]. Do '''not''' create a symlink named `/usr/bin/gnutar` pointing to a different version of tar or a version of gnutar you installed using MacPorts or yourself.

Ensure you have at least the command line tools installed by running `xcode-select --install` from a Terminal. Make sure to also run this even if you have Xcode installed, because you might otherwise see an error message about MacPorts not being able to find Tcl with the next selfupdate.

== Pre-Built Binary Packages ==

We will start to build and distribute binary packages for ports as soon as we have a Mavericks buildbot. [https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2013-October/024724.html Our admins are working] on getting the buildbot set up.
