I'm trying to install RVM on Maverick using the pre-release of Xcode - command line tools installed. Specifics on the system are:[[BR]] {{{ OS X Version 10.9 Build 13AS24d

Xcode 5.0 Build 5A11386k

Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.1.74) (based on LLVM 3.3svn) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0 Thread model: posix }}} The problem occurs when trying to install a dependencie, expat. I've installed a fresh version of MacPort2.2.0 from source on my system which I then run via sudo.

Screen output is:

'''128 > sudo port'''[[BR]] ''Password:''[[BR]] ''MacPorts 2.2.0''[[BR]] ''Entering interactive mode... ("help" for help, "quit" to quit)''[[BR]]

'''[Users/richardlloyd] >''' ''install expat''[[BR]]

''invalid syntax: should be "try body ?catch {type-list ?ecvar? ?msgvar? ?infovar?} body ...? ?finally body?"''[[BR]]

''Please see the log file for port expat for details:''[[BR]] '' /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_textproc_expat/expat/main.log''[[BR]]

''To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:''[[BR]] http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets[[BR]] ''Error: Processing of port expat failed''[[BR]]

'''[Users/richardlloyd] >'''[[BR]]

I'm attaching the expat logfile mentioned above.

I understand the caveats re mac developer / non-disclosure / limited- availability. I hit this problem while trying to install rvm in order to limp past the dreaded certificate verify failed (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError) bug. Any guidance would be appreciated. Most surely bleeding edge technology here...

If that still causes the same problem you probably modified your `/usr/bin/tclsh` to point to 8.6 – which you should just not do. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40502#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
