#15930: Error: Unable to execute port: can't create directory "/opt/local/var/macports/build": permission denied ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: batchelordb@ornl.gov | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- This is my first attempt to install a port. Things like "port list", "port search" and "port info" work fine. What I tried was: ~ $ port install -v pgplot +darwin_i386 +aqt +demos and what I got was: Error: Unable to execute port: can't create directory "/opt/local/var/macports/build": permission denied I guess the permissions are set wrong. But I hesitate to tinker with them since the /opt directory and its subdirectories are installed by MacPorts. I looked in FAQ but didn't find anything. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15930> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
