#16086: silc-client install prob ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: jharres@comcast.net | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@macports.org): Welcome to Macintosh! :) Let's see if we can figure out why this isn't working. +universal is a variant you can select on many ports which builds the port for both PowerPC and Intel (instead of for only PowerPC or Intel depending on which kind of Mac you have, which is the default). Most users don't need the +universal variant because they only use MacPorts on either a PowerPC or Intel Mac (as opposed to on both a PowerPC and an Intel Mac). More information on MacPorts universal support is in the [wiki:FAQ#IsMacPortsUniversal FAQ]. You can learn about a port's variants by typing "`port variants foo`" (e.g. "`port variants silc-client`" should show "`silc-client has no variants`" but other ports may have variants you might be interested in). More info on variants is in the [http://guide.macports.org/#using.variants Guide]. Please try updating your ports with "`sudo port -d sync`" and if that succeeds then try "`sudo port clean --work silc-client`" followed by "`sudo port -d install silc-client 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/silc-client.txt`" If it fails, please attach the file `silc-client.txt` from your Desktop to this ticket which will hopefully contain more information to help us solve this. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16086#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
