#21486: DMG MacPorts-1.8.0 10.6 Snowleopard.dmg - MacPorts1.8.0 pkg - fails immediately --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: magill@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.0 Keywords: | Port: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment(by ryandesign@…): William sent this reply by email: Replying to [comment:2 jmr@…]:
You're installing the wrong package for your OS version (or trying to install over a MacPorts/DarwinPorts version older than 1.5).
I am trying to install the "latest" (per the MacPorts webpage) version of MacPorts -- 1.8 -- for Snow Leopard. Granted, Snow Leopard is version 10.6 while I'm trying to install on 10.6.1. Will 1.8 install on 10.6.1? There has been no version of either DarwinPorts nor MacPorts installed on this machine. What is this "pre-installation" program looking for? The error message is not provided --- but missing according to the program itself. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21486#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
