#42339: Failed to install ghostscript ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: daniel.miau@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Keywords: | Port: ghostscript ---------------------------+-------------------------------- I was not able to install ghostscript (using the command sudo port install ghostscript) on two Macs (both OSX 10.9.1). I checked the error log and find the following line strange (please also see the attached error log): ---------------------- :debug:extract Executing command line: cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_private_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_print_ghostscript/ghostscript/work" && /usr/bin/gzip -dc '/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/ghostscript/ghostscript-9.10.tar.gz' | /usr/bin/tar -xf - ---------------------- The -dc option of gzip seems to decompress the package to standard output as opposed to the file system, is it something expected? I have tried to manually decompressed the package located at '/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/ghostscript/ghostscript-9.10.tar.gz' and the package seems to be ok. The sudo command gives the permission to write to the directory '/opt/local/var/macports/build/_private_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_print_ghostscript/ghostscript/work' too. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42339> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
