Error: arpack: Variant openmpi conflicts with gcc43
Error: Unable to open port: Error evaluating variants
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
    
http://guide.macports.org/#**project.tickets<http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

on a second machine essentially the same happens but a conflict with gcc47
is stated instead of with gcc43. any ideas?


The openmpi variant used to incorrectly allow that, but openmpi is itself a
(wrapper around a) compiler so you must either consistently use it
everywhere or risk odd build issues due to conflicting C++ runtime support
libraries and such. You must determine which compiler to use yourself in
this case; it's not something ports can do for you --- although probably
manually deactivating the non-openmpi compiler via "port upgrade arpack
+openmpi -gcc43" or etc. is probably the "right" choice in many cases.

indeed, that did the trick (it went through with the warning

Warning: Skipping upgrade since openmpi 1.7.2_0 >= openmpi 1.7.2_0, even though installed variants "+gcc43" do not match "+gcc47". Use 'upgrade --enforce-variants' to switch to the requested variants.

which I hope is innocuous?

after this upgrade of `arpack' `upgrade outdated' no longer chokes (have not tried the second machine, yet).
thanks a lot for your help. I really appreciate this.

otherwise, I admit not being able to follow you completely regarding what's going on (I don't know anything about the affected packages arpack, openmpi. they are are seemingly dependencies of some stuff I have installed)).
but in any case everythings fine now.

thanks again.
