Hi Matt,

I am just guessing here, but Zack and Manuel both mention installing XQuartz, whereas you mention installing xorg-server. While Demeter should work with either, perhaps on the new OS there is a problem installing Demeter with xorg-server and one has to go with xQuartz.

I do have XQuartz installed, from before starting to build MacPorts. The installation instructions for demeter say to install xorg-server.

Have you tried installing xQuartz or following Zack's instructions exactly?

Depends on what "exactly" means. ;). I did not "migrate", I built MacPorts from scratch, after completely erasing any trace of MacPorts as described in their own uninstalling description.

This was my second attempt at a completely fresh install on El Capitan, and I've installed Demeter with MacPorts on several machines using previous OS / MacPorts / Demeter versions. Something is definitely broken.

That is installing xQuartz and not installing xorg-server at all?

The problem I see is not related to X. It's that Perl's PDL does not compile with GSL. I submitted a ticket about this to the MacPorts site.
