This [wiki:FAQ#missingxcode usually means] you haven't installed Xcode properly. If you're sure you have, then please attach the config.log so we can investigate further. The config.log is located in the directory identified by the command `port work expat`.

Ah, I see you've already done this. Well, the config.log isn't very clear. It says:

{{{ can not open CC_PRINT_OPTIONS_FILE /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_expat/expat/work/.CC_PRINT_OPTIONS }}}

But I'm not sure why that would be the case. The only possible clue is that the main.log says:

{{{ Skipping completed }}}

This tells us this was not a clean build attempt. So please run `sudo port clean expat` and try again.

Fixed![[BR]] Sorry, didn't think about trying "sudo port clean expat", duh.[[BR]] I now remember that this fixed something for me once before.....[[BR]] Many thanks:-)[[BR]] -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35454#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
