Comment:

 Confirmed on Snow Leopard. The extract script tries to pick either
 --strip-path or --strip-components, whichever the current version of tar
 supports; tar on Snow Leopard appears to support neither. tar on Leopard
 is GNU tar 1.15.1 but on Snow Leopard it's BSD tar 2.6.2, and presumably
 this option is a GNU tar extension. The port already has a patch that it
 uses on Panther to use the gnutar port; we could use that on Snow Leopard
 as well.

 Which software are you actually trying to install that requires odcctools?
 The port is very old and I would not expect it to work on Snow Leopard
 even if we resolve this extract failure, considering it already
 [ticket:13148 did not work on Leopard].
