Hi Justin,

I had a similar problem. Wayne Lukens’s idea of installing each package individually by ”sudo port install libcxx” worked for me. But I am stuck with perl5.24:

sudo port install perl5.24

--->  Computing dependencies for perl5.24

--->  Installing perl5.24 @5.24.0_0

Error: org.macports.install for port perl5.24 returned: no destroot found at: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_perl5/perl5.24/work/destroot

Please see the log file for port perl5.24 for details:

    /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_perl5/perl5.24/main.log

To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:

    http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets

Error: Processing of port perl5.24 failed


How did you pass that?


Thanks,

Yuan

Hello Matt,

Thanks for the help.  I seem to have gotten it to work by cleaning and then trying the command below multiple times. I had installed macports and then used this command. 
sudo port install xorg-server demeter

and it gave the error 
Error: org.macports.archivefetch for port libcxx returned: archivefetch failed for libcxx @3.7.1_0+universal
 then a bunch more lines of code which I assummed were the files it didn't get to in the port. Then it just said 
Error: port of Demeter failed. 
 

I ended up getting past all that. and had another error too many files opened  but jean has answered that for me now as well. 

Thanks for all the help

-Justin

Hello,

I have followed the steps to install macports on my mac and it seems to be working. However when I went to port in demeter it start and fails rather quickly giving this error message.

Error: org.macports.archivefetch for port libcxx returned: archivefetch failed for libcxx @3.7.1_0+universal

What do I need to do in macports to get it to properly fetch libcxx?

 
Several of people (including me) have observed that they sometimes need to do "sudo port install" of many of the dependencies (say, libgcc or perl packages), and that sometimes they need to try multiple times.

But also: can you give a more complete report of exactly what commands you typed and exactly what the error messages were?  "I followed the steps" is actually ambiguous, as you're assuming that we know which steps you followed.   We might be able to guess correctly what you actually did, but if you tell us explicitly then we wouldn't have to guess.
