I have followed the directions in the guide to a "T", and run into an issue at "Install Readline" "Step Two"

I get this error.

---> Configuring ncursesw
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org _release_ports_devel_ncursesw/work/ncurses-5.6" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --enable-widec --disable-rpath --with-shared --without-debug --without-ada --enable-safe-sprintf --enable-sigwinch --mandir=/opt/local/share/man " returned error 77

I have no other programs running, and even tried restarting the Mac.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I cant delete this, but I just found some help in another thread saying to re-install xcode, so I am doing that and seeing if that helps.

It should help - I ran into that same problem. The Xcode install righted the situation.

Looks like GCC is outdated. Like ShesCake said, updating to the latest devtools should solve your issue.
