Upgrade to Sierra from Mavericks

[Mannucci, Anthony J (335G)]

David,

I did not save which port wanted gfortran. Sorry. Before one executes “port select gcc” there is no executable named “gfortran”. The executables have specific version names. One of the ports was expecting the generic name “gfortran”.

Can you explain more what you mean by this?

1) The lack of a gfortran meant that install errors were found using the restore_ports.tcl script.

I don't think there should be any port which tries to build using an executable called "gfortran". A port such as gcc49 installs gfortran-mp-4.9.

Glad to hear it!

That's a very old version of gcc. The latest stable version is gcc6; I recommend using that instead.

Ok, but you're not meant to have to do that manually. Use "sudo port select gcc" to do it for you.

They can also be found in MacPorts documentation, and probably on Apple's web site somewhere.

cctools-headers is obsolete. Uninstall it / remove it from the list of ports that you're instructing MacPorts to reinstall.
