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/.

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
