#35670: could not set effective gid to 0 -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: dpawlows@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.1.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | -------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by dave@…): It’s probably not a wise idea, but setting macportsuser root in macports.conf works around the problem. Another way to work around the problem seems to be to set macportsuser to a user with sudo privileges, create a group with the same name as that user and add the user to the group, and change ownership (recursively) of /opt/local/var/macports to that user. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35670#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
