[Octave-bug-tracker] Octave 7.3.0: Failed to destroot octave: command execution failed

[Kirill Muradov]

Dear Octave maintainers / users,

 

With a major upgrade of MacPorts, I decided to reinstall Octave. However, I have been facing a recurring problem with the latest version 7.3.0. The installation proceeds to staging Octave into destroot and then fails:

 

Kirills-iMac:~ kirillmuradov$ sudo port install octave +accelerate+app+docs+gfortran+graphicsmagick+qt5+sound+sundials

I am a relatively experienced user of Octave but have very scarce idea of the building process. Will you please provide some guidance, if any? Or perhaps I should switch to an earlier version of Octave (6.?.?) in MacPorts (how?). My system is macOS Monterey 12.6.1, MacPorts and Xcode cl tools are up to date.

 

Thanks in advance,
