#41188: port selfupdate failed: Error installing new MacPorts base: shell command failed - THE SEQUEL ----------------------+------------------- Reporter: kelly@… | Owner: cal@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.9.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | ----------------------+------------------- Comment (by cal@…): The problem seems to be {{{ ./configure: line 3342: /usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2: No such file or directory }}} Can you grab the binary installer for Mavericks from https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.2.1-10.9-Mavericks.pkg and run it? That's probably easier than running the necessary commands manually. The problem seems to be that your version of MacPorts used to use llvm- gcc-4.2 to build itself – however, Mavericks removed this compiler, causing your selfupdate to fail. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41188#comment:14> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
