I upgraded my Mac OS X to version Mountain Lion. Then I installed "XCode 4.4" and "Command Line Tools". Then I ran the command

sudo port upgrade outdated

and all went well. Finally I wanted to add ghc via macport

sudo port install ghc

and then I found the dialogue suguiente

Warning: Your developer_dir setting in macports.conf points to a non- existing directory. Since this is Known to cause problems, please correct the setting or comment it and let auto-discover macports the correct path. ---> Computing dependencies for ghc ---> To be installed Dependencies: perl5.8 ---> Building perl5.8 Error: perl5.8 port for org.macports.build returned: command execution failed Error: Failed to install perl5.8 Please see the log file for perl5.8 port for details:

Error: The following dependencies Were not installed: perl5.8 To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:      http://guide.macports.org/ # project.tickets Error: Processing of port ghc failed

I think the reason the problem is that ghc depends on perl5.8 and that this version of perl is no longer available.

Can you fix this problem or tell me a solution?

Please attach the main.log file from the failed perl5.8 build so we can see what went wrong. However before you do so I can already see that you had not cleaned before trying the perl5.8 build, so its results cannot be trusted. Please "sudo port clean perl5.8", then try again, then attach its main.log if it fails again. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35320#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Please use WikiFormatting so your posts are readable.

You need to attach the main.log to this ticket so we can see what the problem is.

You should at least fix the warning mentioned in the output. Why did you change that? {{{ Warning: Your developer_dir setting in macports.conf points to a non- existing directory.

I apologize sincerely for my inexperience. I'll do what you say, as I understand. The schedule is as follows: {{{ $ sudo port clean perl5.8 }}} and then {{{ $ sudo port install perl5.8 }}} The dialogue that I get is: {{{ imac-of-my-name:~ my_user$ sudo port clean perl5.8 ---> Cleaning perl5.8 imac-of-my-name:~ my_user$ sudo port install perl5.8 ---> Fetching archive for perl5.8 ---> Attempting to fetch perl5.8-5.8.9_8.darwin_12.x86_64.tbz2 from http://packages.macports.org/perl5.8 ---> Fetching distfiles for perl5.8 ---> Verifying checksum(s) for perl5.8 ---> Extracting perl5.8 ---> Applying patches to perl5.8 ---> Configuring perl5.8 ---> Building perl5.8 Error: org.macports.build for port perl5.8 returned: command execution failed Please see the log file for port perl5.8 for details: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_perl5.8/perl5.8/main.log To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide: http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets Error: Processing of port perl5.8 failed imac-of-my-name:~ my_user$ }}} Unfortunately the process fails again. I will add the main.log after several failed attempts. Thank you very much for the patience. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35320#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

I figured it might have been clang which was the issue, but switching to llvm-gcc-4.2 didn't do the trick, not did trying apple-gcc42. There's source code there doing the equivalent of &(':') which is basically illegal in C (taking the address of an lvalue). Is macports getting an "in-between" version of perl5.8? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35320#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
