can't install ettercap-ng
by david carvalho 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Hi all ! For the last days I've been trying to install ettercap-ng on my mac os X 10.4.8 I've done this previously on windows and linux without any problems. Now, there's a dependency that can't be resolved. The process stops in "attempting to fetch pcre-6.7..." I was thinking that it could be something with the department firewall, since usually I have to do a "wget --no-passive-ftp" when downloading some RPMs. But a while ago I've noted that even when it was trying to download pcre from http://... I get the same problem. How can i solve this in order to install ettercap-ng. I've also changed, like suggested in darwinports site, the rsync repository to rsync.macports.org, but the result is the same. Any help please ? Thanks ! best regards! David

gnome-applets failed install resolution?
by Aruno Johnson 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Hello I searched the archives for this error and do see it listed but either I don't understand the resolutions suggested or they were not complete. This is the error I get when I run "port install gnome-applets (same as was posted previously by another user). Any help would be greatly appreciated. As a side note gnome-desktop was able to complete the install without this app and is running fine. ---> Fetching gnome-applets ---> Attempting to fetch gnome-applets-2.12.3.tar.bz2 from http:// ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/gnome.org/sources/gnome-applets/2.12/ ---> Attempting to fetch gnome-applets-2.12.3.tar.bz2 from http:// archive.progeny.com/GNOME/sources/gnome-applets/2.12/ ---> Attempting to fetch gnome-applets-2.12.3.tar.bz2 from http:// mirror.clarkson.edu/pub/gnome/sources/gnome-applets/2.12/ ---> Attempting to fetch gnome-applets-2.12.3.tar.bz2 from http:// mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-applets/2.12/ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for gnome-applets ---> Extracting gnome-applets ---> Configuring gnome-applets ---> Building gnome-applets with target all Error: Target com.apple.build returned: shell command "cd "/opt/local/ var/db/dports/build/ _opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dp orts_gnome_gnome-applets/work/gnome-applets-2.12.3" && make all" returned error 2 Command output: gswitchit_config.c:769: warning: implicit declaration of function 'XklConfigGetFromServer' gswitchit_config.c:774: warning: implicit declaration of function 'XklGetLastError' gswitchit_config.c:775: warning: implicit declaration of function 'XklConfigRecDestroy' gswitchit_config.c: In function 'GSwitchItKbdConfigLoadFromXInitial': gswitchit_config.c:781: error: 'XklConfigRec' undeclared (first use in this function) gswitchit_config.c:781: error: parse error before 'data' gswitchit_config.c:782: error: 'data' undeclared (first use in this function) gswitchit_config.c:783: warning: implicit declaration of function 'XklConfigGetFromBackup' gswitchit_config.c: In function 'GSwitchItKbdConfigActivate': gswitchit_config.c:921: error: 'XklConfigRec' undeclared (first use in this function) gswitchit_config.c:921: error: parse error before 'data' gswitchit_config.c:922: error: 'data' undeclared (first use in this function) gswitchit_config.c:926: warning: implicit declaration of function 'XklConfigActivate' gswitchit_config.c: In function 'GSwitchItAppletConfigActivate': gswitchit_config.c:1206: warning: implicit declaration of function 'XklSetSecondaryGroupsMask' gswitchit_config.c: In function 'GSwitchItKbdConfigFormatFullLayout': gswitchit_config.c:1247: error: 'XKL_MAX_CI_DESC_LENGTH' undeclared (first use in this function) gswitchit_config.c:1247: warning: unused variable 'fullDescr' gswitchit_config.c: In function 'GSwitchItConfigLoadGroupDescriptionsUtf8': gswitchit_config.c:1261: warning: implicit declaration of function 'XklGetGroupNames' gswitchit_config.c:1261: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast gswitchit_config.c:1263: warning: implicit declaration of function 'XklGetBackendFeatures' gswitchit_config.c:1263: error: 'XKLF_MULTIPLE_LAYOUTS_SUPPORTED' undeclared (first use in this function) gswitchit_config.c:1265: error: 'XklConfigRec' undeclared (first use in this function) gswitchit_config.c:1265: error: parse error before 'xklConfig' gswitchit_config.c:1266: error: 'xklConfig' undeclared (first use in this function) gswitchit_config.c:1294: warning: implicit declaration of function 'XklGetNumGroups' make[2]: *** [gswitchit_config.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Mactel 10.4.8 evolution-data-server build failure
by Robert J. Hansen 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

I'm trying to build gnome-desktop-suite on a MacBook Pro using OS X 10.4.8 and the latest XCode tools. I have just installed MacPorts/DarwinPorts 1.3.1 via the OS X installer package. evolution-data-server is failing due to a multiple definition of libiconv. Looking around on the net didn't turn up anything useful (at least not in a quick search), so I figured I'd toss it out here and see if anyone had any suggestions for me. I've tried to build this twice now. After the first bomb, I decided to wipe /opt entirely and start anew, on the off chance that there was something stale that was causing it. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Thanks much for any help you can offer! ===== ---> Building evolution-data-server with target all Error: Target com.apple.build returned: shell command "cd "/opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports_gnome_evolution-data-server/work/evolution-data-server-1.8.0" && make all" returned error 2 Command output: ld: multiple definitions of symbol _POA_GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_Book__init .libs/Evolution-DataServer-Addressbook-skels.o definition of _POA_GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_Book__init in section (__TEXT,__text) ../../addressbook/libebook/.libs/libebook-1.2.dylib(Evolution-DataServer-Addressbook-skels.o) definition of _POA_GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_Book__init ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol __libiconv_version /usr/lib/libiconv.dylib(iconv.o) definition of __libiconv_version /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib(iconv.o) definition of __libiconv_version ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _libiconv /usr/lib/libiconv.dylib(iconv.o) definition of _libiconv /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib(iconv.o) definition of _libiconv ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _libiconv_close /usr/lib/libiconv.dylib(iconv.o) definition of _libiconv_close /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib(iconv.o) definition of _libiconv_close ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _libiconv_open /usr/lib/libiconv.dylib(iconv.o) definition of _libiconv_open /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib(iconv.o) definition of _libiconv_open ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _libiconvctl /usr/lib/libiconv.dylib(iconv.o) definition of _libiconvctl /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib(iconv.o) definition of _libiconvctl ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _libiconvlist /usr/lib/libiconv.dylib(iconv.o) definition of _libiconvlist /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib(iconv.o) definition of _libiconvlist ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _libiconv_set_relocation_prefix /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib(relocatable.o) definition of _libiconv_set_relocation_prefix /usr/lib/libiconv.dylib(relocatable.o) definition of _libiconv_set_relocation_prefix /usr/bin/libtool: internal link edit command failed make[4]: *** [libedata-book-1.2.la] Error 1 make[3]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2

darwinports broken on intel?
by Kevin Prichard 04 Dec '06

04 Dec '06

My darwin/mac/ports installation is totally b0rked - unclear what the triggering event was. It'd been a couple weeks since I last used the port command when, a day after receiving the very recent round of osx security updates, I attempted to install apache2. This is what I saw- $ sudo port list can't find package Pextlib 1.0 while executing "package_native require Pextlib 1.0" ("eval" body line 1) invoked from within "eval package_native $args" (procedure "package" line 14) invoked from within "package require Pextlib 1.0" (procedure "dportinit" line 311) invoked from within "dportinit ui_options global_options global_variations" Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize ports system, can't find package Pextlib 1.0 I believe this was version 1.3 (going by ./base/dp_version.) So I tried upgrading to 1.3.2, the latest. Following successful build, I got the following response to 'make test'-- . . . ===> making test in src/pextlib1.0 /usr/bin/tclsh tests/curl.tcl Pextlib.dylib no suitable image found. Did find: /Users/exeteremeritus/packages/dp/DarwinPorts-1.3.2/src/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture while executing "load $pextlibname" (procedure "main" line 2) invoked from within "main $argv" (file "tests/curl.tcl" line 54) make[2]: *** [test] Error 1 make[1]: *** [test] Error 1 make: *** [test] Error 1 The file it "did find" appears to have been built along with all the others. Here's my ./configure line: ./configure --build=i686-apple-darwin8.8.1 --target=i686-apple-darwin8.8.1 FWIW, I also tried "ppc-apple-darwin8.8.1" and "powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.1" - both built, both had the same problem. Googling around, I see others have had this problem, but no clear solution in hand. Any ideas? Cheers, Kevin P

seeking matplotlib install advice
by belinda thom 04 Dec '06

04 Dec '06

Hi, I've installed matplotlib (v 0.87.6_0) via macports (os x 10.4.8, python 2.4.3). I've tried following the "interactive" instructions at matplotlib.sourceforge.net/interactive.html, which tells me to modify matplotlibrc as follows: interactive : True backend : TkAgg My general usage is via ipython -pylab, which should automatically setup the necessary extra thread for plotting, but I've seen similar behavior in vanilla python shells as well. I can run matplotlib commands (e.g. plot([1,2,3])) but plot windows are never shown (even after I explicitly call show()). I can save the figure and view it as a pgn, so much is working. When I configure matplotlibrc via the rec'd TkAgg backend, I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/local/bin/ipython", line 28, in ? IPython.Shell.start().mainloop() [snip] File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/ backend_tkagg.py", line 8, in ? import tkagg # Paint image to Tk photo blitter extension File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/ tkagg.py", line 1, in ? import _tkagg ImportError: No module named _tkagg A google search led me to believe I didn't have "the proper tcl-dev/ tk-dev" directories. I then noticed there was a +gt2k macports matplotlib variant, and found another search snippet that led me to believe installing this new variant might relieve my woes. No such luck. Has anyone gotten matplotlib to plot figures interactively in the macports/python24 setting? Advice greatly appreciated. --b

MacPorts dns outage
by James Berry 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

The MacPorts domain was out for a while yesterday as our DNS provider, http://www.everydns.net was affected by a large scale DDoS attack. Their four geographically separated servers were taken down in the attack. You may read more about it on the everydns site. While we thought that four geographically distributed servers were sufficient, it turns out that might not be so when politics mean we may need organizational diversity in addition to geographic and topological diversity. We'll be adding a couple more secondaries from other sources to prevent this sort of thing from affecting us in the future. Let me know if you have any questions. James

Updated ktoblzcheck && gnucash

Hello, I have noticed that ktoblzcheck and gnucash were updated today and issued a `port upgrade installed`. This is what I see. ---> Fetching ktoblzcheck ---> Attempting to fetch ktoblzcheck-1.12.tar.gz from http:// easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/ktoblzcheck ---> Verifying checksum(s) for ktoblzcheck ---> Extracting ktoblzcheck ---> Configuring ktoblzcheck ---> Building ktoblzcheck with target all ---> Staging ktoblzcheck into destroot ---> Deactivating ktoblzcheck 1.11_0 ---> Installing ktoblzcheck 1.12_0 ---> Activating ktoblzcheck 1.12_0 ---> Cleaning ktoblzcheck Error: No port libtiff found. ---> Fetching gnucash ---> Verifying checksum(s) for gnucash ---> Extracting gnucash ---> Configuring gnucash ---> Building gnucash with target all I have the 'tiff' port installed (and did a search and did not find a libtiff as a MacPort), so I want to make sure that the error is not problematic. Does anyone have any comments regarding this? Two independent Intel Macs that I am privy to display this same error message. Thank you for your assistance with this. Regards, Anthony
