For all who are faced with this problem there is a simple solution. Increase the number of files that can be open concurrently by typing in the terminal session that you use to install Demeter :

ulimit –n1024, and proceed again with the installation of Demeter.

You may need to load the dependencies separately. In this case use "sudo ports install libcxx" Sincerely, Wayne On Wed, Nov 23, 2016 at 8:54 AM, christophe den auwer mailto:christophe.denauwer@unice.fr> wrote: Dear all, I am trying to install Demeter on OS 10.9.5 and I am stuck! I installed Xcode 6.2 fine with the licence agreement and everything. Then I installed MacPort 2.3.5 fine as well. I also checked updated version and everything worked fine. Then I tried to install Demeter and got stuck with the following lines : Error: org.macports.archivefetch for port libcxx returned: archivefetch failed for libcxx @3.9.0_0+universalError: Failed to install libcxx Please see the log file for port libcxx for details: Error: Processing of port demeter failed I attached to my message, if of any use, the full procedure and feedback from terminal window.
