Hi all,

I'm getting this error when I try to install the lalapps app. via port. I've already installed python version 2.7, but something is wrong with python2.7 binary file that is saved in this path: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7 (my /opt/local/bin/python2.7 points to this file)

I'm pretty sure that I somehow broke the python2.7 installation but I do not know now how to recover it. This is the error that appears in main.log. I have also attached this file.

:info:configure checking whether /opt/local/bin/python2.7 version is >= 2.6... no :info:configure configure: error: Python interpreter is too old.

Thanks a lot Xisco

I've already uploaded main.log and config.log files Now that I've checked the config file I see that the library ac_nonexistent.h is missing. On the other hand and in the case this helps you, this is what my output shows when executing the python binary: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7 python2.7: posix_spawn: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.72.7: No such file or directory Notice that, strangely, when I call python2.7, my bash is trying to find some weird and non-existent binary called python2.72.7 being python2.7 not linked to any other file. Feel free to ask me more questions! Thanks in advance Xisco -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/47428#comment:5> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

Do you have a clue how to reinstall it? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/47428#comment:7> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

What I remember I did (I think after breaking the link) was to copy the binary file /opt/local/bin/python2.7 to

/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7

That would have probably broken things as on my system `/opt/local/bin/python2.7` is a symlink. If you deactivate the port and then reactivate it then that will hopefully get things working again. Try:

{{{ $ sudo port -f deactivate python27 $ sudo port activate python27 }}}

and if that doesn't do the trick, try:

{{{ $ sudo port -f uninstall python27 $ sudo port install python27 }}}
