#36407: octave-devel @3.6.3 install error -----------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: shawn@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Keywords: reinplace | Port: octave-devel -----------------------+-------------------------------- On OSX 10.8.2 I cannot install octave-devel (though I don't know that it works with a different OS X version). It fails with the following error: {{{ Error: reinplace: couldn't read file "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports .org_release_tarballs_ports_math_octave-devel/octave- devel/work/octave-3.6.3/src/Makefile": no such file or directory Error: org.macports.build for port octave-devel returned: reinplace sed(1) failed }}} The log has a little more information: {{{ :debug:build Executing proc-pre-org.macports.build-build-0 :debug:build Executing reinplace: /usr/bin/sed {/'display.cc'/s@$(CXX)@$(APPLE_CXX)@g} < /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports .org_release_tarballs_ports_math_octave-devel/octave- devel/work/octave-3.6.3/src/Makefile >@ file10 :debug:build couldn't read file "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports .org_release_tarballs_ports_math_octave-devel/octave- devel/work/octave-3.6.3/src/Makefile": no such file or directory while executing "exec /usr/bin/sed {/'display.cc'/s@$(CXX)@$(APPLE_CXX)@g} < /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_t..."

The directory .../octave- devel/work/octave-3.4.3 exists, not octave-3.6.3.
