#26387: xorg-xcb-proto/python dependency loop via tk/libX11 -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: spyro@… | Owner: mcalhoun@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: High | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: xorg-xcb-proto python26 -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment(by jzwolak@…): Replying to [comment:5 spyro@…]:
So in that case, the patch that I created probably messed up my xorg- xcb-proto install?
I suppose that the best thing to do would be:
1. To use `port install python26 +no_tkinter`[[BR]] 2. Then install xorg-xcb-proto normally[[BR]] 3. Then reinstall python without +no_tkinter
I wonder if there is any way to streamline this process or atleast to make it more obvious?
Thank you for your help!
Here are the exact commands that worked for me: sudo port install python26 +no_tkinter sudo port -f activate python26 sudo port install xorg-xcb-proto sudo port clean python26 sudo port install python26 And then I can install ImageMagick, xorg, or whatever. Note that the second command may not be necessary on your system, it was necessary on mine because I had some files lying around from a previous Python installation attempt. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26387#comment:10> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
