os x lion macport problem - macos

I'm trying to install tomcat6 on OS X Lion using via macport 2.0. However, there is problem during the installation of one of the dependencies "commons-dbcp"
The messages are as follows
---> Building commons-dbcp
Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed (see log for details)
Error: Failed to install commons-dbcp
After upgrading my OS to Lion, this kind of problem with macport happens alot and I don't know how to fix. It stopped me from installing a number of packages which I could install without a problem on Snow leopard.
Anyone could help me on this? Thanks

Make sure you have XCode 4.1+ installed and then update (re-install) your MacPorts to version 2.0.0
more instruction available here.

I faced similar problem, As pointed by Shayanlinux, installing XCode 4.1+ and running a sudo port selfupdate fixed the problem.

Failed to build pycairo on Mac OS X 10.9

Trying to install py2cairo-1.10.0 on Mac OS X 10.9. Configure went fine, then when I go to run $ ./waf build I get the following:
/usr/local/include/cairo/cairo-xlib.h:44:10: fatal error: 'X11/Xlib.h' file not found
I see from this question that I need to have X11 installed, but since X11 is no longer included with OS X, I can't use that solution. I do have the latest version of XQuartz installed, but that doesn't seem to help anything.
Does anyone know of a workaround for this? Thanks!
UPDATE: Build and install working fine now, but still can't get it to import. Any thoughts?

Git for Mac fails to launch: "illegal instruction"

...I've looked pretty carefully (I believe), and have been unsuccessful at getting an installation of Git for my Mac.
For various reasons, I'm running 10.6.8 of Mac OS X and will not be changing that anytime soon.
I've already gathered and installed the bundle exposed here:
https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git
The installation instructions are pretty clear, and it's obvious to me that the package installed. But any attempts to use the git client from the command line result in an "Illegal Instruction" error.
I've sifted pretty carefully through information available here:
http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-Installing-Git
There is another bundle that seems to be available. It is called "GitHub for Mac 1.7.5, but it appears to require Mac OS X 10.7 or later.
Has anyone else encountered this difficulty? Must I build from source?
I'm a couple of hours of reading and hacking into this effort? Is there something obvious that I've not considered?
Yes, I've had the same exact problem, and what I did is installed an earlier build from here:
https://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/
I'm running 10.6.8 and installed the newest build there, 1.8.4.2
SourceForge only has 1.9.0 and 1.8.5.2
http://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/reviews?source=navbar
Someone on the reviews said they had trouble with both and went back to 1.7. I would try that if 1.8.4.2 doesn't work.
I was able to run the config commands without an illegal instruction error, at least.
I had this problem and was able to install a working version using Homebrew.
# first uninstall the broken version
# mount the DMG for the broken version using Finder
# "type" this with the tab key! it saves typing and fixes the version number
cd /Volumes/Git\ 2.0.1\ Snow\ Leopard\ Intel\ Universal/
./uninstall.sh
# make bash forget about the uninstalled binary
hash -r
cd
# now install the working version
# assumes you have Homebrew installed
brew install git
git version
I had this today on Snow Leopard after running the suggested git installer from git-scm. Really horrible. Found that installing Macports using their old Snow Leopard package and then
sudo port install git +svn +doc +bash_completion +gitweb
installs git plus its dependencies and git now works fine; version 1.9.3 installed and working on 10.6.8.
I had the same problem. There are various methods for downloading and installing git - Try macports or homebrew. The thing that finally worked for me was having xcode 3.2.6 installed with the additional command line tools - version 3.2 that comes with the leopard install disk wasn't enough. You can install xcode etc. from the disk and then run software update to upgrade it to 3.2.6.
The latest build for Snow Leopard in the official git-osx-installer repo is Git 2.3.5 currently. You can download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/files/git-2.3.5-intel-universal-snow-leopard.dmg/download using web browser. This installation works for me on OS X 10.6.8.
Or you can check yourself for a newer version: http://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/files/
Yes - it seems that it does not support the older OS version (mine was 10.6.8). I upgraded to the newest Mac OS 10.9.4 (the installation will take a while), reinstalled the Git software (note that it will ask for xcode to be installed, which I proceeded), and everything works fine from there. Hope this helps.

To quote:
Does GitHub for Mac run on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard?
No, GitHub for Mac requires OS X 10.7 (Lion) or higher.
We made this decision because the app relies on a number of
technologies which are not available in Mac OS X 10.6 or earlier. We
want to provide the best experience possible for the app's users, so
we've made the choice to only support 10.7 and above, and not make
earlier versions available.

Set up g++ on OS X

I just updated to OS X Mavericks and it seems it messed up my whole compiler setup. Not only do I have to reinstall a JDK in order to use a Java compiler, I get the following error when I'm trying to compile C/C++ using GCC/G++:
/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/4.7.2/gcc/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin12.2.1/4.7.2/../../../../include/c++/4.7.2/cwchar:46:19: fatal error: wchar.h: No such file or directory
Not sure what to think other than upgrading messed it up. My question is: how do I set up g++ to compile on OS X? If it's already set up, what is the problem here?
If I can provide more information, please let me know.
Note: I've installed gcc 4.7 using homebrew, but it doesn't seem to work. When I use g++-4.7 code.cpp specifically, I get the same error.
Installing the Command Line Tools (OS X Mavericks) for Xcode - Late October 2013 solved it for me. Here is the link:
OSX: Xcode Downloads
The often mentioned xcode-select --install command kept saying it cannot find the requested software.
To clarify: You need to already have gcc-4.7 installed using Homebrew. The update to the latest version of CMD Tools only fixes compatibility issues caused by upgrading from Mountain Lion to Mavericks.

How should I upgrade Xcode after upgrading to OS X Lion?

I've just found out, that my homebrew doesn't work anymore after I upgraded to OS X Lion.
$ brew install clojure
Warning: Xcode is not installed! Builds may fail!
Error: No such file or directory - /usr/bin/cc
and
$ brew doctor
We couldn't detect gcc 4.2.x. Some formulae require this compiler.
We couldn't detect gcc 4.0.x. Some formulae require this compiler.
You have no /usr/bin/cc. This will cause numerous build issues. Please
reinstall Xcode.
Setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH can break dynamic linking.
You should probably unset it.
after some googling, I found out that I should upgrade Xcode to version 4.1. The problem is, I have version 3.2.5 installed and I can't find any way of uninstalling it.
When I look at App Store, it looks like I don't have Xcode installed at all. I'm afraid that if I install it via App Store, it will somehow conflict with the version I have currently installed. However I can't find it in Applications, and I can't find any update function either.
Software Update doesn't prompt me to update Xcode, and I also don't see it in Installed Software.
What should I do?
Thanks to the readme found at /Developer, I found a way to uninstall Xcode via
$ sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
edit: I just ran the installer for Xcode 4, and it detected old version of Xcode, offering me to move it to /Developer-old.
I fixed it by
In theory this should work if you have Xcode4.3 installed (in /Applications):
$ sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/
