Hi,
I am on macOS 10.6.8, and was at MacPorts 2.3.4. I use MacPorts
intermittently, so I am not that familiar with edge cases and figuring out
failures.
I just tried this:
====================================
$ port info surf
Warning: port definitions are more than two weeks old, consider updating them
by running 'port selfupdate'.
surf @1.0.6 (math)
Variants: [+]gui, universal
Description: surf is a tool to visualize some real algebraic geometry:
plane algebraic
curves, algebraic surfaces and hyperplane sections of
surfaces. surf is
script driven and has (optionally) a nifty GUI using the
Gtk widget set.
Homepage: http://surf.sourceforge.net/
Library Dependencies: gmp, flex, jpeg, tiff, xorg-libX11, gtk1, xorg-libXmu
Platforms: darwin
License: GPL-2
Maintainers: [email protected], [email protected]
====================================
Then I did a selfupgrade, which took me to 2.3.5. Then this:
====================================
$ so port install surf
Warning: Skipping surf (not in the ports tree)
---> Scanning binaries for linking errors
---> No broken files found.
====================================
Then I upgraded the outdated ports, which wandered around for a while, and
ended with this:
====================================
---> Updating database of binaries
---> Scanning binaries for linking errors
---> Found 4 broken file(s), matching files to ports
Warning: No port surf found in the index; can't rebuild
---> Broken files found, but all associated ports are not in the index and so
cannot be rebuilt.
====================================
Since this didn't give me much to go on, I looked in the manual, and decided to
try
====================================
$ so port -v rev-upgrade
---> Scanning binaries for linking errors
Could not open /opt/local/lib/libglib-1.2.0.dylib: Error opening or reading
file (referenced from /opt/local/bin/surf)

---> Found 4 broken file(s), matching files to ports
Warning: No port surf found in the index; can't rebuild
---> Broken files found, but all associated ports are not in the index and so

====================================
Surf is installed,
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 615928 Sep 3 2014 /opt/local/bin/surf
but obviously broken. Is this no longer supported?
Thanks for any help/pointers.
