Check that the MacPorts install path is first in your PATH. In my case
{{{ echo $PATH
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin
}}}
/opt/local/bin needs to be before /usr/bin (this is part of the MacPorts initial setup). In particular see https://guide.macports.org/#installing.shell
The PATH environment variable is for the user's convenience only. MacPorts itself does not use it. MacPorts uses the value of `binpath` in macports.conf. Replying to [comment:10 tome@…]:
have received no emails after my last reply. happened to lookup the ticket and saw the above responses, but have no idea what they mean.
You're probably referring to some spam in this ticket that I have now removed. There was an automated process that was CC'ing and un-CC'ing itself from MacPorts tickets. The process has been fixed to not do that anymore, and I have been removing the resultant spam from tickets.
too much for me. will try to find another way to do what i want to do. if there is anybody out there, you can remove this problem.
If you don't wish to troubleshoot the problem further, that's fine, and I'm closing the ticket. If you wish to continue, please re-open the ticket. It does sound like the problem is specific to your computer however. We [comment:5 already established] that MacPorts thinks automake 1.15 is installed, but gimp-lqr-plugin thinks automake 1.10 is installed. The command I would suggest you run is: {{{ /opt/local/bin/automake --version }}} That should tell us what version of automake is actually installed. If it doesn't match the version MacPorts thinks is installed (for example: if it says 1.10, but MacPorts says 1.15 is installed), then something outside of MacPorts may have overwritten your MacPorts automake with an older version. You could get back to the MacPorts-provided version by running: {{{ sudo port -f deactivate automake sudo port activate automake }}} However, if something outside of MacPorts overwrote your automake files, we have no way of knowing if it also overwrote files belonging to other MacPorts ports, so the safest solution at that point would be to [https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html uninstall MacPorts], including removing the /opt/local directory, then reinstall MacPorts and the ports you want. That way you can be sure nothing is in /opt/local that shouldn't be there. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/47752#comment:11> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
