I did not uninstall and reinstall all ports (as per the migration page). This is the very first time I have used Macports, so did I need to do that first?
If you're sure you never had MacPorts installed before, then that's fine; then there would be nothing to uninstall.
I upgraded to 10.6, downloaded and tried Macports which failed, then installed Xcode and got to this point.
It failed presumably due to missing Xcode? Yes I presume so too as the install then started to work only stopping at the current point.
I did not uninstall my copy of MySQL5 either manually or via Macports during this process, is that where I went wrong? [[br]] [[br]] There is no panic on this as I have now manually reinstalled MySQL5
Which MySQL do you have installed? MacPorts does not use libraries you have installed separately. If you want to use MySQL with something from MacPorts, you probably want to uninstall any MySQL you manually installed, then "sudo port install mysql5" (if you want the MySQL client) and "sudo port install mysql5-server" (if you want a MySQL server).
At the time MySQL 5.0.45 (as I mentioned I have now manually upgraded to 5.1.41). Maybe I am not understanding how best to use Macports: I was assuming that it would be able to upgrade from a previous version (of MySQL) that I had installed manually prior to installing and using Macports. From your statement, I am now thinking that Macports is used to install an initial version and will then subsequently keep it up to date.
however I am still getting the same error message and I'm keen to try
Macports in future. [[br]]
[[br]] Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: lipo: can't open input file: /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib (No such file or directory)
Does the file /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib exist? What does "port contents zlib" say?
No /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib does not exist. port contents zlib returns: Port zlib contains: /opt/local/include/zconf.h /opt/local/include/zlib.h /opt/local/lib/libz.a /opt/local/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/ChangeLog /opt/local/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/examples/example.c /opt/local/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/examples/fitblk.c /opt/local/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/examples/gun.c /opt/local/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/examples/gzappend.c /opt/local/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/examples/gzjoin.c /opt/local/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/examples/gzlog.c /opt/local/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/examples/gzlog.h /opt/local/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/examples/README.examples /opt/local/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/examples/zlib_how.html /opt/local/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/examples/zpipe.c /opt/local/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/examples/zran.c /opt/local/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/FAQ /opt/local/share/doc/zlib-1.2.3/README /opt/local/share/man/man3/zlib.3.gz Thanks for taking the time with this. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23057#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
