#43923: Installer of Macports 2.3.0 des not includ the Tcl directory ----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: waitsnake@… | Owner: macports- Type: defect | tickets@… Priority: Normal | Status: new Component: ports | Milestone: MacPorts Keywords: Macports 2.3.0 installer, Pallet | Future | Version: 2.3.0 | Port: pallet ----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- After I got Pallet installed with an workaround that I describe in this ticket here [https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43922] I was asked from the program to choose the Tcl directory. In older days of Macports this directory was placed under "/Library/Tcl". In newer times this directory was moved to "/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/" and a symbolic link was placed in the old directory "/Library/Tcl" to keep older software up and running. But unfortunately I saw with "pacifist" that all installer packages of Macports 2.3.0 do not include the Tcl directory any longer. I looked in the following installers and Tcl directory was missing there: MacPorts-2.3.0-10.9-Mavericks.pkg MacPorts-2.3.0-10.8-MountainLion.pkg MacPorts-2.3.0-10.7-Lion.pkg MacPorts-2.3.0-10.6-SnowLeopard.pkg So neither the Tcl directory was forgotten in the installer of 2.3.0 or it was removed on purpose? If it was removed on purpose than Pallet needs to be changed that it not needs the files from the Tcl directory any longer. As workaround look with pacifist in an older installer for Macports version 2.2.1 (e.g. MacPorts-2.2.1-10.9-Mavericks.pkg) and here I could found the Tcl directory and just install this single directory with pacifist. And now after selecting in Pallet the Tcl directory "/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl" the software finally works a treat. (to select the Tcl directory first use "goto directory" in finder and than use "select..." in Pallet and drag the folder from the finder windows into the select window of Pallet) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43923> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
