I have built octave two days ago and have met this same problem. Here's the recipe. To work around it, edit the Portfile (/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/science/hdf5/Portfile) and modify two things: * the version : replace 1.6.5 by 1.6.6 * the checksum: I did not keep a copy of the new checksum, but after you changed the version and tried again to "port install hdf5" there will be an error message in which the checksum is printed. So replace the current value by the expected one. No the build should go fine. When hdf5 has completed its build, execute sudo port install octave to finish the job. HTH Bernard Ryan Schmidt wrote:

I'm trying to build GNU Octave, but one of the pre-requisites hdf5 seems broken:

What should I do to fix it?
A bug about hdf5 has already been filed:

The maintainer has not yet responded.
