Problems with MP 2.6.0 on Snow Leopard

[Rob Widdicombe]

Hi,

Bear with me - I'm a musician, not a Unix expert, but I'm doing my best!

I'm still resolutely running Snow Leopard and last night did a port selfupdate to take me up to MP 2.6.0. So far so good.

However, when I then tried to do a port rev-upgrade, the problems began. It fails on the first step, upgrading gmp. Looking at the log files, it seems like it's expecting to find clang 8, and I have no idea why - I've never installed it and so, not surprisingly, it's not there.

I'm using:

Xcode 3.2
Component versions: DevToolsCore-1608.0; DevToolsSupport-1591.0
BuildVersion: 10D575

Here are the log files:

Just on the offchance that it would help I tried to install clang 8 but that failed, as I sort of expected it would.

I don't know if this is relevant but I did some time ago install the libcxx port, but this was to try to fool mainstream OSX programs that were designed for Lion and above (it didn't work!) rather than for any Macports-related stuff. Therefore I didn't mess with any of the Macports configuration as described in LibcxxOnOlderSystems. Nevertheless I've had a look at the macports.conf file to make sure that there's nothing untoward in there and, sure enough, everything is set to the defaults.

Any help will be gratefully received!

Many thanks,
Rob
