#41236: selfupdate to 2.2.1 fails: configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. --------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: paul@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.2.0 Keywords: | Port: --------------------+-------------------------------- I'm on OSX 10.9.0 (13A603) with MacPorts 2.2.0 installed, and apparently Xcode version 4.4.1. Trying to selfupdate to MacPorts 2.2.1 I run sudo port -v selfupdate and everything starts off well until we get to: {{{ ---> MacPorts base is outdated, installing new version 2.2.1 Installing new MacPorts release in /opt/local as root:admin; permissions 0755; Tcl-Package in /Library/Tcl checking build system type... x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0 checking host system type... x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0 checking target system type... x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0 checking MacPorts version... 2.2.1 checking for sw_vers... /usr/bin/sw_vers checking for defaults... /usr/bin/defaults checking for xcode-select... /usr/bin/xcode-select checking Mac OS X version... 10.9 checking Xcode location... /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer checking Xcode version... 4.4.1 checking for gcc... /usr/bin/cc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/base': configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.

Not even sure where it would be. Best guess is /opt/local/var/log/ but that log directory doesn't exist under var on my computer. I also tried changing the sources.conf file to point to rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ but that gave the same error. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41236> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
