[MacPorts] #21676: Grace installation clobbered macports
#21676: Grace installation clobbered macports -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: hayes@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: High | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.0 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Hi, I tried to install Grace on my MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo with OS X v. 10.5.8, using "sudo port install grace". It returned an error about a missing library, and then port would no longer work. I tried logging in using a new terminal window, but port seemed to be missing a library. I hastily closed the window and lost the name of the library. It looks like the Grace port has a serious problem. I'm sorry for the incomplete information. Adam Hayes U.

You may want to consider removing the Grace port until the problem is solved. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21676#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Were you using a symlink to /opt/local/ by any chance?
Hi, No, I didn't use any sym-links. I used the standard installation of Macports, so however that chooses the directories is the way I left it. The installed software is going into /opt/local/.

Without that, debugging can't really go anywhere. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21676#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

I was in a panic. Unfortunately, unless there is a log file that I don't know about and that would have survived the re-installation of macports, I won't be able to provide the errors, except to say that it seemed to involve the output from the last one or two libraries before the install stopped. I can't reproduce this without destroying Port again. I was hoping that something in the script might look incorrect to a maintainer, but maybe that is too hopeful.

Hence the need for further information. Note that the question about a symlink can still mean MacPorts is/was at /opt/local (this was ticket #21082). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21676#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
