#23281: Unable to activate port python26 -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: pbfuddle@… | Owner: blb@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Port: python26 | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment(by pbfuddle@…): Replying to [comment:15 pbfuddle@…]:
I am sorry, I missed the part about running activate again, and posted more comments; however; I just did so and it appears that it worked this time:
'''activating file: /Applications/MacPorts/Python 2.6/Python Launcher.app/Contents/Resources/PythonSource.icns''' or '''activating directory:. . .''' etc. for a whole page worth of similar statements. I did not see any errors.
Do I continue with the scite install now?

Here is what I got. So is python26 the root cause of all this? It did install, after a while. However, scite is very slow to open and I can't tell if it does much. The help function doesn't.
---> Activating python26
DEBUG: Image error: /Applications/MacPorts/Python 2.6/Build
Applet.app/Contents/Info.plist already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port python26.
This usually happens when you try to remove all of MacPorts but don't
include the stuff in /Applications/MacPorts (the [http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html guide covers all bits to remove] if you're curious). If that's the case then you should be able to just {{{rm -rf "/Applications/MacPorts/Python 2.6"}}} then do the activate again.
