ROOT6 installation with MacPorts not working

Hello experts,
I am trying to install ROOT6 with macports on my Mac M3.
I installed macports and then did the command to install ROOT6.
Everything seems to work up to when it starts to build, then it crashes with a cryptic error that I paste below. I also attach the log file, which is ununderstandable to me…
Anybody knows what is going on?
Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi Riccardo,

Thanks for the report. We have little control on macports, unfortunately - I cannot comment yet on the potential cause of this issue.
Do you see the same error when building ROOT from sources, e.g. the 6.32 branch?

Best,
Danilo

Hi Danilo,

I don’t know, because I downloaded and installed the pre-compiled ROOT version.
