You must also agree to the Xcode license. See:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://www.macports.org/install.php" class="">https://www.macports.org/install.php</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Next, it is impossible to predict if the things you have installed in /usr/local/lib will conflict or not. But if you have an install failure, if can waste a lot of time if that turns out to be the problem. I suggest (strongly) that you at least temporarily rename that directory while installing with MacPorts.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Big Sur may be another issue. It is still quite new and changed enough things that it caused some of our ports to break. Do you have an Intel or ARM Mac? More details of Big Sur issues at:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://trac.macports.org/wiki/BigSurProblems" class="">https://trac.macports.org/wiki/BigSurProblems</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Finally, it appears that some o the ports you are trying to install may be broken at present. Taking the first one you listed, FreeCAD, there is an open support ticket that might be the problem you are experiencing:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://trac.macports.org/ticket/60039" class="">https://trac.macports.org/ticket/60039</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Basically, FreeCAD depends on boost. Boost was changed last year to default to a Python version that is incompatible with with FreeCAD. However boost can be installed with an appropriate version. Try:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">sudo port clean freecad</div><div class="">sudo port install boost +python27</div><div class="">sudo port install freecad</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If that still fails, the error messages will tell you where to find “main.log” which should identify the actual issue.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">HTH,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Craig</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
