#21041: Macports goes berserk when asked to install plplot ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: david@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.0 Keywords: | Port: ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Not sure where to turn to on this. It would seem a simple install from the Darwinports webpage, but when the instruction 'sudo port install plplot' is given, Macports installed what looks like an entire Unix system on my Macbook Pro. What do Apache, Ruby, Sqlite and PHP have to do with plplot? These are just a few of dozens of unrelated applications installed. Obviously something has gone very wrong. Happy to send you the logfile (presuming macports creates one) to show what happened. It has taken about 3 hours to install plplots with all the subsidiary junk.
