When I try to update nurses from version 5.9 to the latest version 6.0, the build fails. I have tried cleaning the port and reinstalling. Port still fails. I have attached the log file.

#48616: ncurses @6.0: clang: warning: argument unused during compilation:fatal error: ar: can't find or exec: /opt/local/bin/ranlib (No such file or directory) ----------------------+------------------- Reporter: amtor@… | Owner: jmr@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: ncurses | ----------------------+------------------- Comment (by jmr@…): Replying to [comment:3 ionic@…]:

MacPort's `ranlib` is being used opportunistically, although trace mode is in use. I don’t know about “opportunistically”, it depends which `ar` is being used.

Given that trace mode is designed to make stuff fail and is known to be imperfect, try again without it. This is pretty clearly not a case of underspecified dependencies. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48616#comment:4> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
