#26919: gnome-doc-utils installation fails ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: ivan@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: gnome-doc-utils | ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Comment(by devans@…): Aha! That's not cricket! The MacPorts python ports use non-standard installation paths so that multiple versions can be installed at the same time. The python_select command manipulates links to select which one is linked to the default command name 'python'. Deactivating python26 will cause python_select's link to fail. In general, the GNOME ports depend on python26 so that all python extensions etc will work together over the GNOME suite. So I suggest you stick with that if you want a consistent python experience. More than this, the general MacPorts philosophy is to assume that all software to be used with our ports is installed by MacPorts and not manually elsewhere (like in /usr/local for instance). This helps us insure that everything works correctly and that software works the same over multiple versions of the OS. Glad you got it working. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26919#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
