I get this error while installing cmake on my machine.

Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure:
shell command failed (see log for details) Error: Failed to install
cmake Log for cmake is at:
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_cmake/cmake/main.log

The full log is here, but what I basically see is compilation errors.

I don’t have any particular setup on my machine. Lion 10.7.3, Xcode 4.2.1 installed in the default directory.

I’ve tried to install it with multiple options (+universal), I also uninstalled MacPorts completely before retying. Always with the same issue.

Any ideas or pointers?

    The first and most serious error is this here:

    :info:configure [...]/cmake-2.8.6/Source/cmFindProgramCommand.cxx:17:10: fatal error: 'CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h' file not found
:info:configure #include <CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h>
:info:configure          ^

    It seems like your installation is incomplete as this header is supposed to be found at /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/Headers/CoreFoundation.h or in the corresponding platform SDK.

    Try reinstalling Xcode from the App Store or developer.apple.com.
