Did you build MacPorts from source or install it from a disk image? (Which disk image?) Do you have anything installed in /usr/local? Do you have Fink installed in /sw? Both of those could conflict with MacPorts in weird and exciting ways. The expat port doesn't say anything about the tar command. That's a global MacPorts extraction mechanism, so I would expect all ports to be equally broken for you at this point. The relevant code, I think, from portextract.tcl: default extract.post_args {"| ${portutil::autoconf::tar_command} -xf -"} So ${portutil::autoconf::tar_command} is empty for you. I don't know why yet. > On Nov 25, 2007, at 7:48 PM, Ryan Schmidt wrote: > >> On Nov 25, 2007, at 12:12, Jesse Ohlsson wrote: >> >>> I installed the Xcode and X11, then the latest MacPorts and >>> successfully updated it as well.

Apache 2.2.6 and OpenSSL 0.9.8g do not seem to be compatible
by Rob Huston 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Hello, After upgrading to Leopard, I upgraded my MacPorts Apache2 installation from 2.2.4 to 2.2.6. Unfortunately, upon restarting Apache, via sudo /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -k restart I now get the following error message: httpd: Syntax error on line 96 of /opt/local/apache2/conf/ httpd.conf: Cannot load /opt/local/apache2/modules/mod_ssl.so into server: Symbol not found: _ssl_cmd_SSLCACertificateFile\n Referenced from: /opt/local/apache2/modules/mod_ssl.so\n Expected in: flat namespace\n If I comment out the LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so line in httpd.conf, then Apache starts up and I can see my local web pages and Subversion repositories (as long as I don't use SSL). The strange thing is that, in Leopard, Apple has upgraded the factory install of Apache to 2.2.6 already, and it has SSL enabled. If I activate Apple's Apache via the Web Sharing command in the System Preferences, everything starts up just fine. However, I notice that Apple's factory installation of OpenSSL is at version 0.9.7l, whereas the MacPorts version (as of this writing) is at 0.9.8g. Perhaps there might be an incompatibility with Apache 2.2.x and OpenSSL 0.9.8g? Before I upgraded my MacPorts, I was running Apache 2.2.4 with OpenSSL 0.9.8e without any problems. Has anybody else experienced this? Thanks much for any help, - Rob Huston

I am looking to use the check_mysql service in Nagios. I installed nagios-plugins but the check_mysql command is not in /opt/local/ libexec/nagios/ where the plugins are installed. Any idea how to get the plugin? Thanks, Michael

not specifically MacPorts but tools-related
by paul beard 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Does anyone have any experience with the gcc 3.3-fast compiler? it's listed as an option on my system but gcc_select says it doesn't really exist. And how do I use the compilers that MacPorts builds, if I ever had a need? gcc33 @3.3.6 lang/gcc33 gcc34 @3.4.6 lang/gcc34 gcc40 @4.0.4 lang/gcc40 gcc41 @4.1.2 lang/gcc41 gcc42 @4.2.2 lang/gcc42 gcc43 @4.3-20071116 lang/gcc43 And does gcc_select override what's in the Portfile? For instance, python 2.5 is balking with gcc 4 (the default) but builds with gcc 3.3. I made the change explicit in the Portfile. Could I have saved that step? -- Paul Beard / www.paulbeard.org/ <paulbeard@gmail.com/paulbeard@mac.com>

php5 + sockets
by Brian Matzon 25 Nov '07

I am looking for a variant sockets, but it seems to have either gone missing - or never made available. Is this a simple oversight, or are there issues with adding the sockets variant to php5? -- The cake is a lie

What is MacPort 1.5 trying to pipe the gzip output to?

wireshark crashing
by Mark Lucas 25 Nov '07

25 Nov '07

Having noted the various discussion regarding problems with wireshark I have tried everything to get it working , deleting all binaries, reinstalling MacPorts, compiling without X11 running, updating etc. nothing seems to work. I have found that if I run wireshark with the 'Automatic Scrolling in live capture' turned OFF it does not crash. However if I scroll down to the bottom of the Packet List pane whilst in capture mode wireshark crashes. Similarly if I have 'Automatic Scrolling in live capture' turned ON wireshark crashes when the pane fills up and it tries to draw information on the bottom line of the Packet List pane i.e as it tries to automatically scroll. This problem existed for me with the latest version of wireshark even under Tiger. sudo -b wireshark returns this in the terminal window when it crashes;- The program 'wireshark' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 42521 error_code 8 request_code 152 minor_code 4) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Oddity with Python25 and Xcode 2.5
by John Wilder 25 Nov '07

25 Nov '07

I was having a problem with installing python25 (2.5.1_3) where it would error on executing libtool with the diagnostic: ld: for architecture ppc ld: warning prebinding disabled because of undefined symbols ld: Undefined symbols: restFP saveFP libtool: internal link edit command failed make: *** [libpython2.5.dylib] Error 1 I recently upgraded to 10.4.11/Xcode 2.5/gcc4.0.1 from 10.3.9/gcc3.3 on a g4. Previously I had been able to install python25 successfully on 10.3.9 and was upgrading to the latest version. I found that I could overcome this two ways: 1. modifiying patch-Makefile.pre.in to have -L/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc- apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ -llibgcc [+ -current_version $(VERSION) -lSystem -lSystemStubs -L/usr/lib/gcc/ powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ -llibgcc $(LDFLAGS)].. 2. adding a soft link in /usr/lib to /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple- darwin8/4.0.1/libgcc.a (ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple- darwin8/4.0.1/libgcc.a libgcc4.a) and then modifying patch- Makefile.pre.in to have -lgcc4 [+ -current_version $(VERSION) -lSystem -lSystemStubs -lgcc4 $ (LDFLAGS)]. Since I don't have an intel Mac, I can only assume that linking to / usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/libgcc.a may help there. Hope this helps, John
