#44650: port installation failed -----------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ciwong@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.1 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Port: | -----------------------+-------------------------------- Changes (by ciserlohn@…): * status: new => closed * resolution: => invalid Old description:

Hello,

I am trying to install ImageMagick, and the installation file has instructed me to:

Install MacPorts. Download and install http://www.macports.org/ and type the following commands:

$magick> sudo port -v install freetype +bytecode $magick> sudo port -v install librsvg $magick> sudo port -v install +graphviz +gs +wmf +jbig +jpeg2 +lcms

I was able to install MacPorts and run the first two commands. When trying to run the 3rd command, I get the following error:

Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port description file ("Could not find Portfile in /Users/corinnewong"). Please verify that the directory and portfile syntax are correct. Error: A default port name could not be supplied. Error: Unable to open port: Could not find Portfile in /Users/corinnewong

I have a MacBook Pro with OS X version 10.8.5. I updated Xcode (v5.1.1). I installed MacPorts-2.3.1-10.8-MountainLion.pkg. Upon installation, I was getting the 'port command not found error' so I modified my .cshrc file with the following:

set path = (/opt/local/bin/ $path) set path = (/opt/local/sbin/ $path)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Corinne

Thank you, Corinne -- Comment: The third command has a superfluous {{{+}}} before the port name (graphivz). It should be: {{{ $magick> sudo port -v install graphviz +gs +wmf +jbig +jpeg2 +lcms }}} The {{{+}}} sign denotes a port variant. Please have a look at the [https://guide.macports.org/#using.port guide] for help with the port command. In the future please remember to use [WikiFormatting wiki formating] and fill in the port field. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44650#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

…as a command to install a port from the current directory (the default behavior if no port name is specified) with the `graphviz`, `gs`, `wmf`, `jbig`, `jpeg2`, and `lcms` variants enabled. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44650#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
