Hi Gary,
I don't understand why deleting the distfile helped; my only
suggestion is that the "sudo port clean libcompat" didn't actually
work properly, and the distfile deletion forced it. I also don't
imagine that you'd had a different distfile when the build was
failing, as it would have failed the checksum step, so I don't think
that that was a problem. As for fetching from distfiles-
od.opendarwin.org, that is definitely the only place from which
libcompat is currently distributed, but it (along with distfiles from
quite a few other ports) ought to be copied onto macports.org as that
server will be shut down sooner or later; there are other people
working on that, I think, so I'll see how they think it should be
dealt with.
Kind regards,
Maun Suang

Hello,
Thanks for your help.
OK. This is what I did:
I deleted the
/opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/libcompat/libcompat-4.6.2-
RELEASE.tar.bz2
file manually.
Then I did:
sudo port -d -v install libcompat
and it worked fine.
I'm sure this is not the correct way to do it, but it seemed to work.
Obviously when the
libcompat-4.6.2-RELEASE.tar.bz2
was found to be missing it tried to fetch it. But at first it
couldn't find the file because it couldn't connect:

Should it still be fetching from
http://distfiles-od.opendarwin.org/
?
Perhaps this is the root of my original problem. I think it wasn't
fetching the latest version until I forced it to do so by deleting
the bz2 file.

Sorry, I still get the same error after doing this:

Is your machine Intel or PowerPC ?
This seems odd to me. I'm running on Intel (and Mac OS X 10.4.9),
but it seems to me that the architecture really shouldn't make a
difference; I've checked against the PPC Darwin sources online,
and there doesn't seem to be a difference between the bsd.*.mk
files that are called, and I'd be very surprised if gcc was
behaving differently between platforms in this way. Still, it is
a possibility, so if you post the output of "sudo -td install
libcompat" after cleaning libcompat (or from your original "sudo
port -d -v install libcompat" if you still have it), that might
help me figure out what's happening.
Thanks,
