Error installing Cairo/ Pango/ ncurses/ port self updates and so on..

[Gazei Ajkl]

Hi everyone,

I’m new to this whole topic. For that reason I’m sorry if there is some unprofessional way of reporting my bug.
I’ve been using GNUplot for my scientific diagrams.
I wanted to install 
  sudo port install cairo +no_x11 +quartz +universal
  sudo port install pango +no_x11 +quartz +universal
to use different GNUplot terminals as the big and annoying Error occurred 2 weeks ago.

I’ve read a lot of online documentation and tried several solutions, so far without success, for that reason I’m addressing you.

I think the main Problem is the xterms-sun file, as it occurs in several error messages.
:error:deactivate org.macports.deactivate for port ncurses returned: error deleting "/opt/local/share/terminfo/78/xterms-sun": not owner

It tells me I’m not the owner. I can’t change or delete the file. Even if I run the commands as superuser (sudo). I’ve tried changing the read only restrictions in the file browser, but even if I login as the admin it doesn’t allow me to change the settings.

I’ve tried a lot as the following commands:
- sudo clean port … of several ports which had problems
- sudo port selfupdate
- sudo port upgrade outdated
- reinstalled gfortran-5.2-Yosemite
- uninstalled and reinstalled MacPorts-2.3.4-10.11-ElCapitan
- reinstalled Command_Line_Tools_OS_X_10.10_for_Xcode_7
- reinstalled XQuartz-2.7.8
- reinstalled ncurses-6.0.tar.gz from a file from my HDD

I add some log files as txt files which I think are useful.

Thanks a lot for your help in advance. 

I can’t plot any diagram anymore with GNUplot and I really need the program to run on my computer.
I’ve even tried installing a newer version of GNUplot, but it always shows me problems with the libraries Pango & Cairo.

Best regards

Jakob
