 I just migrated from my old machine on OS X 10.9 to a new machine on OS X
 10.11.1. I followed the [wiki:Migration Migration guide for MacPorts],
 i.e., installed XCode 7.1, installed the new MacPorts Base 2.3.4 for El
 Capitan, uninstalled all previously installed ports. But rather than
 reinstalling everything I had, I only wanted to install the ports I still
 need. So the next thing to do was to install ipe via "sudo port install
 ipe", one of the dependencies is pkgconfig, which unfortunately failed to
 install with this message:
 {{{
 --->  Building pkgconfig
 Error: org.macports.build for port pkgconfig returned: command execution
 failed
 Error: Failed to install pkgconfig
 }}}

 From the attached log file I do not understand the reason for the error.
 Any help is appreciated.

Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 I know trace mode is broken on El Capitan in MacPorts 2.3.4. A tentative
 fix has been committed but not released yet.

 You mentioned you installed Xcode 7.1, which should be a compatible
 version. Have you also upgraded your Xcode command line tools to the
 corresponding version? If you're not sure, try running "xcode-select
 --install". The Xcode command line tools can also be downloaded from the
 [https://developer.apple.com/downloads/ Apple developer downloads] page.
