Dear list, I have tried for hours to install py26-pyqt4 and am now stuck with the failure to build qt4-mac. After hours of compiling and filling 4 (!) GB on my disk, this is where it fails:
:debug:main Skipping completed org.macports.build (qt4-mac) :debug:main Privilege de-escalation not attempted as not running as root. :debug:main Skipping completed org.macports.destroot (qt4-mac) :debug:main Privilege de-escalation not attempted as not running as root. :debug:install install phase started at Sun Apr 22 13:32:55 CEST 2012 :notice:install ---> Installing qt4-mac @4.7.4_1+quartz :debug:install Can't run install on this port without elevated privileges. Escal ating privileges back to root. :debug:install euid changed to: 0. egid changed to: 0. :debug:install Executing org.macports.install (qt4-mac) :error:install Target org.macports.install returned: gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file /usr/bin/tar: Unexpected EOF in archive /usr/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now :debug:install Backtrace: gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file /usr/bin/tar: Unexpected EOF in archive /usr/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now [...] I don't understand what the issue with "root privilege" is - I did of course run port with sudo. To make things worse, it seems that I can't even remove the failed compile with sudo port clean --all qt4-mac or even sudo port clean --all py26-pyqt4 in order to start from scratch. The error remains the same as given above. So, what can I do, and in particular, how can I really remove the failed compile and start over? System info: Mac OS 10.5.8, Xcode 3.1, macports is up to date. Thanks, Thomas
