Trac requires complete email addresses and Cc'ing "openmaintainer" is not useful since it does not go to anyone. There is nothing to fix here. The libstdcxx and libstdcxx-devel ports conflict, so do what the output says and just use libstdcxx-devel. {{{ Image error: /opt/local/lib/.libstdcxx is being used by the active libstdcxx port. Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate libstdcxx- devel' to force the activation. }}} The wording isn't so good though. So do this: {{{ sudo port -f deactivate libstdcxx sudo port activate libstdcxx-devel }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36168#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
