#43092: port install octave +atlas+docs processing failed -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: gbacareza@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------+-------------------------------- Just installed Macports with the intention of using it to install Octave. Obviously I'm very new as I'm a first timer. When attempting to install Octave with command: sudo port install octave +atlas+docs, I get the Error: Processing of port octave failed. Questions: 1. Does this mean that Octave was not installed at all? 1a. Or does it mean that only the failed dependencies, (eg Error: The following dependencies were not installed: SuiteSparse atlas arpack gcc48 cctools ... ) were not installed? 1b. If on the contrary Octave was installed except for dependencies, where could I find executable? 2. What happened to all the dependencies that were installed eg Installing libxml2 @2.9.1_0 which had no errors? 2a. Where were they installed? 3. What do terms "Activating" and "Cleaning" (eg ---> Installing libtool @2.4.2_3 ---> Activating libtool @2.4.2_3) actually do? 3a. Do they overwrite libraries and files already there before this operation? 4. If I decide to not attempt the port installation of Octave and try other means, how do I clean up? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43092> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
