I am trying to install scipy and other python packages on my machine (snow leopard, intel core duo), but I am repeatedly coming up against the following error while trying to build one of the dependencies, gperf:

I have tried to clean it and install again a few times but to no avail. I'm not sure if the file is corrupt or if there has been a stealth upgrade, or if I am being stupid, but any help is appreciated.


Please clean out the mismatched distfile and try again:

sudo port clean --all gperf
sudo port install gperf

If it again doesn't work, it should print a line saying what server it downloaded the file from. Show us this output so we can investigate that server.

Also, you can investigate the distfile it downloaded. It's located in / opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/gperf/. It's supposed to be a gzipped tarball. Is it? Or is it perhaps an HTML page, or some other kind of file? What's in it?
