#47919: Problems installing Octave ------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: spongda@… | Owner: michaelld@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: octave | ------------------------+------------------------- Comment (by spongda@…): Replying to [comment:2 michaelld@…]: I deleted the files you mentioned and unstalled fink and homebrew. Now the octave port completes OK. Thank for the help.
The key debug info is: {{{ :info:build ld: warning: ignoring file /usr/local/lib/libfftw3.a, file was built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64): /usr/local/lib/libfftw3.a :info:build ld: warning: ignoring file /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.dylib, file was built for i386 which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64): /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.dylib }}}
Looks like you have cruft (32-bit i386 stuff) installed info /usr/local. Homebrew generally installs into /usr/local, so maybe you have old HB cruft around?
MacPorts tries to restrict search locations for dependencies as best possible, but we can't get everything all the time. Hence, we highly recommend picking a specific package installed (MacPorts, Fink, Homebrew) and sticking with it alone.
If you have no idea what the stuff there is, then I'd advise removing anything unnecessary in /usr/local.
