Possible bug compiling and installing Expat?
Hello, This is my first post to this list, sorry if I'm not doing things appropriately here. My original intention was to submit a bug to bugzilla as per the instructions on http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/help/, however when I actually get to the point where I'd be posting on Bugzilla http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/enter_bug.cgi, there is no section for Darwinports, so... Here's my question and problem. Basically I'm running 10.4 on a Macbook pro. When I first started using ports and playing around I hosed my TCL/TK install (this is a long story), but I think it's working fine now (I ended up uninstalling it and reinstalling it from sources, ports, etc, basically tried a lot of stuff to get it working and finally did). I honestly know very little about the way compilers, makefiles, etc, work, so I'm not sure if I'm even reporting a bug or just asking a stupid question. Anyways, Darwin ports works lovely except for when I try to install the expat port. I've ran selfupdate and sync, and all of my ports aside from nmap are up to date. I'm tempted to just install expat from the source, but I don't want the same thing to happen to me when I installed TCL from source and things blew up. Below is the output from darwinports when I try to install expat: wireless-226-26:~ dansullivan$ sudo port DarwinPorts 1.320 Entering interactive mode... ("help" for help, "quit" to quit) [Users/dansullivan] > clean expat ---> Cleaning expat [Users/dansullivan] > install expat ---> Fetching expat ---> Verifying checksum(s) for expat ---> Extracting expat ---> Configuring expat ---> Building expat with target all ---> Staging expat into destroot tclsh(2060,0xb83031e0) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=3821060096) failed (error code=3) tclsh(2060,0xb83031e0) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region tclsh(2060,0xb83031e0) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug Segmentation fault wireless-226-26:~ dansullivan$ ---- Because darwinports actually segfaults, I'm a little bit confused if my problem is with my TCL install, Darwinports install, or with the way the port is packed itself. I was hoping that somebody could provide some insight to my problem here. Again, I apologize if I'm posting this to the wrong place or in the wrong manner. I've searched the mailing lists and google already and from what I can tell, nobody else has had this problem.
