My macports working directory resides on a second harddisk
How was this accomplished?
We certainly don't support the MacPorts prefix containing a space; the problem you're experiencing may be an extension of that.
I created a directory /Volumes/Secondary HD/macports, and soft-linked it to /opt/local/var/macports. I did this because my primary boot drive is an SSD. So while the /opt tree still resides on the boot drive, I wanted to keep macports's working directory off the SSD onto the secondary drive. I understand that it's possible that this may be a generic issue, but I singled out the icu port because of all the ports that I have installed, only 2 so far has this problem (R and texlive). Both used icu, and both encountered compilation errors in the icu part of the code and not anywhere else in the code. So I thought it may be specific to icu. After some debugging, I thought it's a path problem related to pkgdata. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25760#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
