#40847: gperf @3.0.4_2 extract error on Mavericks -------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: carmine.ventre@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | -------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by mathias.habluetzel@…): Looks like a missing dependency: {{{ :debug:extract Executing command line: cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_gperf/gperf/work" && /usr/bin/gzip -dc '/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/gperf/gperf-3.0.4.tar.gz' | /usr/bin/gnutar --no-same-owner -xf - :info:extract sh: /usr/bin/gnutar: No such file or directory }}} So I tried to install manually gnutar which somehow wants to install expat: {{{ :debug:extract Executing command line: cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_textproc_expat/expat/work" && /usr/bin/gzip -dc '/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/expat/expat-2.1.0.tar.gz' | /usr/bin/gnutar --no-same-owner -xf - :info:extract sh: /usr/bin/gnutar: No such file or directory }}} Well … no quick workaround here. It seems that Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks completely lacks of gnutar and thus breaks a lot of things here. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40847#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
