#25451: m4 packaging/scripting error: /work/m4-1.4.13 created in the 1.4.14 port --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: selkovjr@… | Owner: blair@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: m4 --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment(by selkovjr@…): Replying to [comment:2 blair@…]:
Did you do a 'port clean' and try to rebuild it?
Tried that right now, and it worked. That worked just now. I ran into copious troubles previously, trying to update the ports on a machine that was new to me. The ports on it have apparently survived an upgrade to Leopard. I kept running into various library version and architecture conflicts after selfupdate. In frustration, I did {{{ port -f uninstall installed }}} That cleaned the mess, and I was able to install all the ports I needed, with m4 presenting the only obstacle, which I surmounted by linking m4-1.4.13 to m4-1.4.14 I did not know about the importance of 'clean' -- thank you for pointing it out. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25451#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
