The error is: checking whether the C compiler works... no configure: error: in `/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/base': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details We would need to see the contents of the config.log file to tell the exact details while the compiler execution failed: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/base/config.log A similar case was described in: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49169 You could try to execute /usr/bin/cc directly to see what error messages it returns. Maybe you have not accepted the Xcode license terms. Rainer
