#38848: dbus: userdir install failed --------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: mikecress@… | Owner: mcalhoun@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: dbus | --------------------------+------------------------ Changes (by ryandesign@…): * owner: macports-tickets@… => mcalhoun@… * keywords: gimp => * port: gimp => dbus Old description:
The root directory of my MacPorts install resides in my user directory. When I use build Gimp, it errors out with the following information:
Error: org.macports.activate for port dbus returned: error renaming "/Users/mike/macports/var/macports/software/dbus/mpextractD7sWHyg3/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop .dbus-session.plist" to "/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus- session.plist": permission denied Error: Failed to install dbus Please see the log file for port dbus for details: /Users/mike/macports/var/macports/logs/_Users_mike_macports_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_dbus/dbus/main.log
I have attached the referenced log file. Could the build be modified to be flexible enough to accomodate macport userdir installations?
