#46804: demeter fails configure on Mavericks -------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: david.w.watson@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: demeter | -------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by joe.fowler@…): David--thanks for the bug report. I am totally new at this, and I can't say that your attached log file gave me any good ideas about why there's a problem. I've heard a rumor that there are problems building on Yosemite, but your log file says you have Mavericks (as I do). Clearly the key line is this: {{{ :info:configure /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_science_demeter/demeter/work/demeter-0.9.20/t/t is a recursive symbolic link at /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.16.3/File/Find.pm line 423. }}} Did you do a "port clean demeter" first? Did you try installing demeter- devel ? (The latter should not actually help, because at present the two ports point to the same tagged release at github, but I'm just wondering.) Do you have any other ideas? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/46804#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
