Thanks! :o) By the way, if `+no_root` is a deprecated hack, can anyone speak to what ''is'' the preferred (or at least idiomatic) way to address these types of non-root install issues? I know that MacPorts' own `configure` supports options like: {{{ --with-no-root-privileges --with-install-user=... --with-install-group=... --with-applications-dir=... --with-frameworks-dir=... --with-directory-mode=... ... [no --with-startupitems-dir=... though] }}} Many packages provide a `[pkg]-config` executable for others to discover aspects about how they were configured (where they were installed, etc.) Is there an equivalent for MacPorts itself (`port-config`?) that could signal to the build process what users to use and where to stick stuff, perhaps by parsing `.../etc/macports/macports.conf`? `macports.conf` doesn't appear to capture all configure options...maybe it doesn't need to? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40364#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
