Error running MacPorts

Hi Richard,

Would you be able to tell us what fix you made?  It might be that the  
fix caused the problem that you see now about the C compiler being  
unable to create executables; I have received your error before, and  
I think in my case it occurred because I mucked up the setting of the  
CFLAGS environment variable or similar.

>>> To get the exact GCC error:
>>>
>>> MacG5:~ root# gcc -O2 -L/opt/local/lib
>>> powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: no input files

I'm afraid that that's misleading; this error is that you haven't  
given it any input files to compile, but the jpeg configure script  
does feed it one.  I get the above error when I enter what you have  
on the command line, but the jpeg port configures and builds for me  
just fine.

Some useful information should also be available in the config.log  
file that is generated during the failed configuration process.   
After a failed run of "port install jpeg", you should find this in

/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ 
graphics/jpeg/work/jpeg-6b/config.log

If you can send the contents of that file, that should help us get to  
the bottom of this.

Kind regards,


Maun Suang
