#46953: libexpat.dylib was built for i386 which is not the architecture being linked -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: mhng1580@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Port: expat | -------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by mhng1580@…): Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]: I uninstalled it and installed again. Everything runs well now. Thanks!
The error in the config.log is:
{{{ ld: warning: ignoring file /opt/local/lib/libexpat.dylib, file was built for i386 which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64): /opt/local/lib/libexpat.dylib }}}
Why is this the case? How did this happen? Did you install some third- party software that overwrote some of your MacPorts-installed software?
The solution to this particular error is to rebuild expat, which you can do by running:
{{{ sudo port clean expat sudo port -n upgrade --force expat }}}
However, if your expat was overwritten, who knows how many of your other ports have been overwritten. It might be safest and easiest to uninstall all ports, and MacPorts itself, and remove the /opt/local directory entirely, as per our [https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html uninstall instructions], then reinstall MacPorts and the ports you want.
