Permission denied writing temp file during restore_ports.tcl on macOS sierra

[Kendall Shaw]

I didn’t figure out the problem. But, after uninstalling macports completely and reinstalling, at least gmp has installed and I am reinstalling the high level ports with lots of dependencies now instead of using restore_ports.tcl

Building gmp fails because it can’t write to a directory that it creates in /var/folders/xx/_blah/T:

:info:build make: error: couldn't create cache file '/var/folders/sr/_cb62lmn0v36cvbz11hjgy7r0000gn/T/xcrun_db-eQZtJHV5' (errno=Permission denied)

Changing permissions using chmod -R g+w  /var/folders/sr/_cb62lmn0v36cvbz11hjgy7r0000gn doesn’t change, it still creates a directory and then says it can’t write to it. And I’ve tried a few variations of this changing group and ownership

Do you know what needs to be done?
