subversion install error: neon checksum
by Alexy Khrabrov 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

While installing subversion port, neon was reported as failing checksum. After that, any attempt to proceed shows this: ~ sudo port install -dv subversion ---> Verifying checksum(s) for neon Error: Target com.apple.checksum returned: Could not open file: /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/neon/neon-0.25.5.tar.gz Error: The following dependencies failed to build: neon Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. How do I get past neon? Cheers, Alexy

XeTeX loads files from wrong directory
by Christoph Ludwig 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

Hi, XeTeX relies for most packages on an existing TeX installation. There are some files, however, that had to be patched; the xetex port installs them in /opt/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/{xetex,xelatex}. Unfortunately, xetex still loads the unpatched files and, in consequence, fails. For example, if I load the hyperref package, xelatex loads /opt/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/url/url.sty, even though there is /opt/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/xelatex/url.sty. I opened a ticket (#11174) for this problem. But perhaps someone knows which configuration file I need to tweak?

Hi. I've installed Ruby, and am now interested in Rails, rake, and related gems. Should I install them from MacPorts, or should I use Ruby's RubyGems package manager?

SuiteSparse checksum error
by Richard Funderburk 20 Dec '06

I'm trying to install octave and I get the following error: Verifying checksum(s) for SuiteSparse Error: Target com.apple.checksum returned: Could not open file: /opt/ local/var/db/dports/distfiles/SuiteSparse/SuiteSparse.tar.gz Error: The following dependencies failed to build: SuiteSparse dejagnu fftw-3 gcc42 gmp mpfr odcctools gnuplot gd2 pdflib readline hdf5 teTeX gawk gsed texi2html texinfo Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. I have tried removing the retrieved file and run again with the same results. I see that there are some patches posted for SuiteSparse today so, hopefully, this is just a transient problem? Thanks, Richard

SuiteSparse port
by Chris Waterson 20 Dec '06

20 Dec '06

Hey Andre! The SuiteSparse Darwin port had you listed as the current maintainer; let me know if that's incorrect and I'll try to pass this along to the right person. Anyway, if you _are_ the current maintainer, I thought I'd let you know that I had to tweak the Portfile a bit to get SuiteSparse to build, patch attached below. I ran into the following issues: 1. It looks like the patches in the Portfile are meant to go against SuiteSparse-2.3.1, _not_ SuiteSparse-2.1.1: they fail when run against SuiteSparse-2.1.1. 2. So, I went ahead and upgraded the MD5 hash and version for 2.3.1, and the patches applied just fine. 3. Next, the build died trying to link gfortranbegin in UMFPACK/Demo. Rather than use the system compiler and kludge in a "-L/opt/local/lib/gcc42", I just went ahead and made all of SuiteSparse build with gcc42, which seemed to work okay. All this was in service of getting my octave port off the floor; I'm an octave n00b so I'm not sure I could actually validate that my changes above did much more than get the SuiteSparse build to complete; YMMV with respect to it actually *working*! :) Anyway, hope this might be useful. thanks, chris

FreeRIDE fox fetch failed
by Une Bévue 20 Dec '06

20 Dec '06

Hey all, i'd like to give a try with FreRIDE but its install stops with Error: Target com.apple.fetch returned: fetch failed i think this is only due to the fact port wasn't able to find the correct repository. then, where is the "good" one and how could I instruct to use it ? and even how could i know all of the dependencies for a given port, downlaod them, somewhere on my box, and make port using them ? best, Yvon

Hi list. I spent a fair amount of time for installing php5 +apache today. the problem is described in http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/2750 It seems no one's working on this (Look at "Last modified 3 months ago") As a workaround, the following patch would be helpful. should be wrong, but works ;) (and don't forget to addd Include /opt/local/etc/apache/extras-conf/*.conf to your httpd.conf) @@ -88,7 +88,7 @@ --without-pear \ --with-freetype-dir=${prefix} -configure.env CFLAGS=-I${prefix}/include/c-client +configure.env CFLAGS="-I${prefix}/include/c-client -DBIND_8_COMPAT=1 -DEAPI -O3" platform darwin 6 { depends_lib-append lib:libdl:dlcompat @@ -124,7 +124,8 @@ depends_lib-append path:${prefix}/sbin/apxs:apache configure.args-append --with-apxs=${prefix}/sbin/apxs } else { - configure.args-append --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs + depends_lib-append path:${prefix}/sbin/apxs:apache + configure.args-append --with-apxs=${prefix}/sbin/apxs } }

The Python 2.5 port island
by Luc Heinrich 17 Dec '06

17 Dec '06

Greetings, As of today, the Python 2.5 port is an island. It has the correct dependencies and builds correctly, but it also has some major problems which makes it mostly useless: 1. The Python framework is not created (--enable-framework is not specified in the configure args). 2. The 'python' symlink to 'python2.5' is not created. 3. All MacPorts python libraries and applications depend on port:python24 or are part of portgroup:python24. Is there a specific reason for (1) and (2) or is this just an overlook ? More importantly, is there a way to workaround (3) and use MacPorts- managed python libraries and applications with port:python25 instead of port:python24 ? A way to ignore dependencies maybe ? (which wouldn't completely work for all ports though, the python variant of port:boost uses a hardcoded python version variable for example) -- Luc Heinrich - luc(a)honk-honk.com - http://www.honk-honk.com
