I have seen similar errors when trying to install other packages (e.g. octave-strings). On the other hand, when I replaced octave-3.2.4 with octave-devel-3.6.4, I could then install octave-general (and octave- strings) without any errors. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37767#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

Please do: {{{ sudo port clean octave-general sudo port selfupdate }}} and then try installing it again. Should be fixed with r114034.

I am afraid it still fails to install:

---> Verifying checksums for octave-general ---> Checksumming general-1.3.2.tar.gz ---> Extracting octave-general ---> Extracting general-1.3.2.tar.gz ---> Configuring octave-general sh: line 0: cd: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports .org_release_tarballs_ports_math_octave-general/octave- general/work/general: No such file or directory

It appears that the octave-devel port has recently been deprecated and the regular octave port is now the most recent version (@3.6.4_10 as of this writing). I've discovered that this behavior occurs with all packages, not just octave-general. Basically, it can be fixed manually by attempting to install the package, manually creating the "package" directory (e.g., "general") after the configuration step fails, and then resuming the installation. $ sudo port install octave[[br]] => now "octave" port installs what used to be the "octave-devel" port (version 3.6.4_x) $ sudo port install octave-general[[br]] => fails due to inability to "cd" to "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports .org_release_tarballs_ports_math_octave-general/octave- general/work/general" because the "general" subdirectory does not get created $ cd /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports .org_release_tarballs_ports_math_octave-general/octave-general/work[[br]] $ ls[[br]] => verify that directory contains no "general" subdirectory[[br]] $ sudo mkdir general[[br]] $ sudo chown macports general[[br]] => installer user account is "macports"[[br]] $ cd ../../..[[br]] => need to do this last step because the build working directory gets deleted after installation[[br]] $ sudo port install octave-general[[br]] => should successfully complete installation I suspect there's something wrong with the octave package installer script in how it parses the package name in creating the build tree. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37767#comment:15> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
