Hi, I am using a computer without root access, thus I have my own local macports installation. I compiled Macports from sources with the following options:

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin ./configure \ --prefix=/mn/xsan/d9/jaime/ports \ --enable-readline \ --with-install-user=`id -un` \ --with-install-group=`id -gn` \ --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include \ --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib \ --with-tclpackage=/mn/xsan/d9/jaime/ports/share/macports/Tcl \ --with-frameworks-dir=/mn/xsan/d9/jaime/Applications \ --with-applications-dir=/mn/xsan/d9/jaime/Library \ --with-no-root-privileges \ --with-macports-user=`id -un`

In general I have managed to compile almost every package that I needed successfully until I tried with python2.7. It compiles fine, but when the port is being activated, it complains about not having access to /Applications (which should not be used at all!):

---> Activating python27 @2.7.1_1 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: can't create directory "/Applications/Python 2.7": permission denied

I would appreciate any help regarding this issue!

Cheers

Cheers -- Comment: On my system, python27 respects ${applications_dir} properly. Are you sure applications_dir is set to your desired value in macports.conf? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29057#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
