[Ifeffit] Regarding installation of demeter on Mac Mavericks system

This error just came up on the list a week ago and I posted the solution there:

<http://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/pipermail/ifeffit/2014-August/012068.html>

In your case, after running the cited code, then continue your install of demeter-devel.

sudo port install demeter-devel

In the future, if you or anyone else is having Macports specific issues, you should instead use the Macports users mailing list for tech support.

<https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users>

Also, under no circumstances is attaching a Word document an acceptable way to post an error log from Terminal. You should instead attach a text file. In the case of Macports, just directly attach the main.log file cited in your output.

Dear Alison/ and All,
        As you suggested I tried to install the demeter and xorg separately. As you expected the xorg installation went very well and was complete. However, when i tried to install demeter-devel it did not go well and I had following error.
 Attempting to fetch 1.2.final.tar.gz from http://cjj.kr.distfiles.macports.org/ifeffit
--->  Verifying checksums for p5.16-ifeffit

--->  Building p5.16-ifeffit
Error: org.macports.build for port p5.16-ifeffit returned: command execution failed
Error: Failed to install p5.16-ifeffit

Then there was log file which is attached to this email including other steps i did. and then following error again.

To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
    http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port demeter-devel failed

So as you expected there was a problem installing demeter-devel.
any help in this aspect will be highly appreciated. I am not sure if this is a bug and can be fixed easily? shoudl I just try once more? I am afraid that i would mess up again by multiple installation.
Thank you very much for help and pursuing this prooblem to be solved.

Sincerely
Pushkar

Hi Pushkar,
I messed up and said athena is its own port--it's not, Athena, Artemis, and Hephaestus all go with demeter-devel. Sorry about that! xorg-server and demeter-devel are two separate ports. Since you're having trouble installing them, I would highly recommend that you do them separately so you know which one is broken.  I'm not sure if libgcc is a dependency of X11 or Demeter, probably Demeter though. Either way, if you get a truncation of the installation like that, then Athena, Artemis, and Hephaestus won't work.

Best,
Alison

Dear Alison,
    Thank you very much for the response. Sorry for the earlier email not being detailed. I will try to explain everything in detail this time.
As you suggested, I uninstalled macports and then  XQuartz (Essentially I googled how to do it and followed the steps they said)

sudo rm -rf \
    /opt/local \
    /Applications/DarwinPorts \
    /Applications/MacPorts \
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.* \
    /Library/Receipts/DarwinPorts*.pkg \
    /Library/Receipts/MacPorts*.pkg \
    /Library/StartupItems/DarwinPortsStartup \
    /Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0 \
    /Library/Tcl/macports1.0 \
    ~/.macports

after this I reinstalled macports by double clicking my earlier downloaded file. After that I
reinstalled xorg by typing the sudo port install xorg-server demeter-devel command. this time it took too






long to install. Essentially I could see individual things getting checked downloaded and cleaned

etc. but the error message occured towards the end

The log file is attached to this email. neverthless I still logged out by typing logout in terminal

(if thats what it means) and clicked terminal again. this time I checked the $DISPLAY command and it






showed the following message.

Last login: Mon Sep  1 23:18:41 on ttys000
Pushkar-Shejwalkars-MacBook:~ Pushkar$ echo $DISPLAY
/tmp/launch-WZNfFS/org.macosforge.xquartz:0

after this I typed

sudo port install athena

and error read as

Error: Port athena not found
Pushkar-Shejwalkars-MacBook:~ Pushkar$ athena
-bash: athena: command not found
Pushkar-Shejwalkars-MacBook:~ Pushkar$ sudo port install athena
Error: Port athena not found
Pushkar-Shejwalkars-MacBook:~ Pushkar$

Please tell me what did I do wrong? I am sure I am missing something here very important step.

Thanks a lot for your help. Hope to hear back with some possible suggestions.

Best

Hi Pushkar,

It's a little hard to tell what you did and in what order. When you activated Macports and then installed athena did you type something like 'sudo port install xorg-server athena'? Is that when you first came across the library duplicate? When you tried to run athena, what error did you get? You didn't report this. It sounds like you might have installed xorg-server (which is the same thing you downloaded from the XQuartz site) and didn't logout and then back in to reset your DISPLAY variable and then downloaded it again manually, messing up your ports. I can't really tell from the information you gave. What is the output of typing echo $DISPLAY?

What I would do: start over. Uninstall all of your X11s. For the XQuartz one start here: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X11-UsersFAQ. For the Macports one, uninstall and clean both the 'athena' and 'xorg-server' ports. Then, reinstall xorg-server by itself. Log out and then back in. Then type echo $DISPLAY. Your DISPLAY variable should be something like /tmp/launch-XXXXXX/org.macports:0.  Then install athena (sudo port install athena). Are there any errors? If so, what are they?

I'm not very knowledgable about this stuff but this seems like a pretty reasonable first step to me. Since I'm on an older Mac OS, if there's 10.9-specific issues I won't be much help. Hopefully this resolves your issues.

Best,
Alison

Dear All,
            I am new to the mac and mac apps as well as not a techie either. I am trying to install the latest version of demeter (artemis, athena and heph) on my macbook using Mavericks OS. For this I followed the steps given on the site with Macports installation, then its activation step. and then I used terminal to connect and download the athena. However there was error which I thought might because of not having the windowing environment ( I am using all the words from site and dont know anything what it means). So I clicked to download X11 from XQuartz site. After that I logged out from terminal and logged in again. to check if anything changes but the following message was observed (the complete message is attached as word document but some part essentially the last portion talking about the error is pasted below.

Please help me installing it properly. Really very sorry for the long email but I thought it will be more helpful this way.
Waiting for the replies.
Thank you very much
