AFAIK, The darwinports1.0 Tcl Library needs to be in /Library as that is the allowed magic directory for system-wide available frameworks (per Apple).
well I don't want system-wide I want MacPorts contained... so per the other message, this installed and I presume it will work mkdir -p MacPorts/Library/Tcl sudo mv MacPorts /usr/local cd MacPorts-1.4.0 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/MacPorts \ --with-tclpackage=/usr/local/MacPorts//Library/Tcl \ --with-install-user=$USER --with-install-group=$USER make && make install humm... installed okay but port selfupdate can't find package darwinports while executing "package require darwinports" (file "/usr/local/MacPorts/bin/port" line 42) ...it looks like configure --with-tclpackage didn't do all the magic I was hopeing for in the binaries. sudo chmod 1777 /Library/Tcl/ mv /usr/local/MacPorts/Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0/ /Library/Tcl/ rm -rf /usr/local/MacPorts/Library/Tcl ln -s /Library/Tcl /usr/local/MacPorts/Library That works well enough for now. Thanks for all the quick responses. BTW, just because MacPorts is sponsored by apple, my feeling is packages (ports, whatever) should be separate from the OS install. cf NetBSD + pkgsrc, and pkgsrc doc, "Chapter 7. Directory layout of the installed files" ...separation is a good thing. Cheers, // George -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator <IXOYE><
