#13742: Installation with the package did not run the postflight script -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: mellonjasper@gmail.com | Owner: jmpp@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts base bugs Component: base | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: installation postflight -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment (by neophi@mac.com): Replying to [ticket:13742 mellonjasper@gmail.com]:

I installed MacPorts on my iMac with leopard. I downloaded the package MacPorts-1.6.0.pkg and installed. The installation created the directories under /opt/local, but no .profile was create in my homedir. Therefore the port command did not work in a shell. I had to create a .profile myself. After that MacPorts worked fine.

The manual creation of a .profile file should not be necessary.

I experienced the same issue described above. After the MacPorts installation wizard was complete, there was no .profile. I uninstalled MacPorts (as per the guide) and reinstalled but still same issue. I found this ticket and downloaded/ran the postflight script posted by jmpp, and now the port command is working. Let me know if you would like me to post any install logs. The issue was an Unknown Shell error like posted above by mellonjasper. {{{basename $SHELL}}} outputs bash. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/13742#comment:17> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
