#30395: libtool requires me to remove /usr/bin/gfortran ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: f.calboli@… | Owner: boeyms@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.0 Keywords: gfortran | Port: libtool ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by ryandesign@…): * keywords: libtool; gfortran => gfortran * cc: ryandesign@… (added) * owner: macports-tickets@… => boeyms@… * priority: High => Normal Comment: Replying to [ticket:30395 f.calboli@…]:
libtool does not build if I have a /usr/bin/gfortran executable. Renaming it fixes the problem, nevertheless it is unacceptable that MacPorts would cause conflicts with software that is not in /opt/local.
Acceptable or not, it is a fact that third-party software installed in system locations (/, /usr/, /usr/local/) can and does interfere with MacPorts software. That is a general MacPorts issue that we do not know how to solve. Suggestions welcome. Specifically for libtool, if we can figure out how to make libtool not care about /usr/bin/gfortran we should do that, but that will not change the fact that having gfortran there could cause problems for other ports too. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/30395#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
