#27110: py26-scipy fails to install -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: andre.girard@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Installation fails because it needs pcre which does not seem to be installed by the script. Installing pcre before installing py26-scipy solves the problem. Here is the relevant fragment of the log file {{{ :info:configure checking for pcre-config... no :info:configure configure: error: :info:configure Can't find pcre-config script from PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) :info:configure library package. This dependency is needed for configure to complete, :info:configure Either: :info:configure - Install the PCRE developer package on your system (preferred approach). :info:configure - Download the PCRE source tarball, build and install on your system :info:configure as you would for any package built from source distribution. :info:configure - Use the Tools/pcre-build.sh script to build PCRE just for SWIG to statically :info:configure link against. Run 'Tools/pcre-build.sh --help' for instructions. :info:configure (quite easy and does not require privileges to install PCRE on your system) :info:configure - Use configure --without-pcre to disable regular expressions support in SWIG :info:configure (not recommended). :info:configure See `config.log' for more details. }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27110> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
