#20218: 'make install' has bad instructions ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: apbaccounts@… | Owner: snc@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.8.0 Component: base | Version: 1.7.1 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: | ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Description changed by ryandesign@…: Old description:

Installing from source concludes with the message:

Congratulations, you have successfully installed the MacPorts system. To get the Portfiles and update the system, run:

sudo port -v selfupdate

Because the installation just happened, people are unlikely to already have /opt/local/bin in their $PATH, and so that command fails with 'sudo: port: command not found'. Maybe anyone installing from source is smart enough to know what to do, but why offer the command if it's not going to work?
