Re: problems with mac

[Friedrich Beckmann]

Hi Julia,

could you check the XCode Version that you have installed with

FriedrichsMacBook:~ fritz$ /usr/bin/xcodebuild -version

Xcode 7.3

Build version 7D175

FriedrichsMacBook:~ fritz$ 

and check your MacOS Version

FriedrichsMacBook:~ fritz$ uname -v

Darwin Kernel Version 15.4.0: Fri Feb 26 22:08:05 PST 2016; root:xnu-3248.40.184~3/RELEASE_X86_64

FriedrichsMacBook:~ fritz$ 

In my example above, it shows that on my system XCode version 7.3 is installed in El Capitan.

You should have XCode 7 installed on El Capitan. Your current problem is not related to pspp. It is related to a wrong

setup of macports.

When you have checked that you have installed the latest version of XCode, then you should uninstall all packages with

sudo port uninstall installed

I am not too sure, but maybe you have to type this a couple of times until no package is left installed.

Then you should try 

sudo port install pspp

There is a ticket in macports which might be related to your python27 problem:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50359

where the XCode version was not up to date.

Hi again,

I did get pspp 8.5 installed on my machine but not a newer version.

I guess I will be happy with that for now and keep learning. I will google the error message. What a great idea.

I love using this program for my stats students so they can keep using it after they graduate but I do not like when they have downloading problems.

With that I am almost tempted to just go back to SPSS and know that they will never use it again after they graduate.

Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it.

If you post the exact error message, I can google it and see if we can figure out when python27 cannot be uninstalled. 

I assume these errors occur when you issue the command "sudo port uninstall installed"?

I have tried that several times. It always fails stating that python27 could not be installed.

Any thoughts?
