How to keep MacPorts as slim as possible?
by Thorsten Zörner 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Dear list, how do I keep my MacPorts installation as slim as possible? I know of this: Trashing inactive ports/versions after an upgrade or any time by way of > sudo port -f uninstall inactive Now from Fink I know this > fink cleanup which is being described to "reclaim disk space used by temporary or obsolete files". Is there something similar for MacPorts? Are there any other ways? I'd suggest to have some web site up to answer questions like this, preferably on http://www.macports.org/ . Or is it there and I simply missed it? Cheers, Thorsten.

Re: Compiling emacs for 10.5.1 PPC

Thanks for the info. I also came across that post and made the modifications to the ported version. After that it complained about the Chinese TIT files. Commented those out and it would finally compile. Only thing is that it was not with X11 support! I have already downloaded the source and will give that a shot. Bertrand

Compiling emacs for 10.5.1 PPC
by Bertrand H.J. Biritz 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Dear MacPorts-users, I am running 10.5.1 on a PowerBook G4 1.67GHz machine. I tried installing emacs, but end up with an error. Strange thing is the only mention of such a problem is with the emacs- devel package - hopefully I am just missing something simple. Thanks, Bertrand $ sudo port clean emacs ---> Cleaning emacs $ sudo port install emacs +x11 ---> Fetching emacs ---> Verifying checksum(s) for emacs ---> Extracting emacs ---> Applying patches to emacs ---> Configuring emacs ---> Building emacs with target all Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/ local/var/macports/build/ _opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync .macports.org_release_ports_editors_emacs/work/emacs-22.1" && make all " returned error 2 Command output: __dyld 0x2b3ccc 0x1c __la_symbol_ptr 0x2b3ce8 0x784 __nl_symbol_ptr 0x2b446c 0x189c __const 0x2b5d08 0x11c __bss 0x2b5e28 0x32261 __common 0x2e8090 0xae90 3 LC_SEGMENT 56 __LINKEDIT 0x2f3000 0x35000 4 LC_SYMTAB 24 5 LC_DYSYMTAB 80 6 LC_LOAD_DYLINKER 28 7 LC_UNIXTHREAD 176 8 LC_LOAD_DYLIB 52 9 LC_LOAD_DYLIB 52 10 LC_LOAD_DYLIB 52 11 LC_LOAD_DYLIB 52 12 LC_LOAD_DYLIB 52 13 LC_LOAD_DYLIB 56 14 LC_LOAD_DYLIB 56 15 LC_LOAD_DYLIB 52 16 LC_LOAD_DYLIB 52 17 LC_LOAD_DYLIB 52 18 LC_LOAD_DYLIB 52 19 LC_LOAD_DYLIB 56 20 LC_LOAD_DYLIB 52 21 LC_LOAD_DYLIB 52 22 LC_LOAD_DYLIB 60 23 LC_LOAD_DYLIB 52 make[1]: *** [emacs] Abort trap make[1]: *** Deleting file `emacs' make: *** [src] Error 2 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Making /opt visible
by Thorsten Zörner 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Hi there, is there a way to make the /opt folder visible in the Finder? I know, there are some tools around, which I would like to avoid and of course I could always browse through it in my Terminal... I was just wondering. Cheers, Thorsten.

wireshark crashing on Leopard
by Blake Garner 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

So first off I'm now able to successfully build wireshark on leopard! Thanks for fixing those funky gtk2 and other portfile bugs! However when I stop a capture everytime wireshark crashes with this error. bash-3.2# /opt/local/bin/wireshark 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 14532 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.) Is this a bug that I should report for macports or upstream to wireshark? thanks, Blake-

xfig crash after removing Xaw3d dependency
by Glenn Jones 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Hi I'm currently having problems trying to get xfig3.2.5_1 not to crash on my imac. I have followed the instructions of Stefan (http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-August/005138.html) where by I remove xfig's the dependency on Xaw by doing the following: sudo port uninstall xfig sudo port clean xfig sudo port -v extract xfig cd /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/graphics/xfig/work/xfig.3.2.5/ sudo vi Imakefile # search for: #define XAW3D # comment (XCOMM) the just found line I then remove the line port:Xaw3d in the file /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/graphics/xfig/Portfile sudo port -v install xfig I get the following messages: Warning: violation by /etc Warning: violation by /usr Warning: xfig violates the layout of the ports-filesystems! Warning: Please fix or indicate this misbehavior (if it is intended), it will be an error in future releases! ---> Installing xfig 3.2.5_1 ---> Activating xfig 3.2.5_1 ---> Cleaning xfig ---> Removing build directory for xfig When I open xfig and then try and use the file menu it crashes and gives the following error color = '#ffcccc' xfig3.2.5: SIGBUS signal trapped xfig: figure empty or not modified - exiting Abort Any ideas what may be going on?

Lots of Python issues on Leopard
by Rob Hudson 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

I've used Python (and Django) on MacPorts on Tiger for a long time. I recently got a new machine at work and installed MacPorts on Leopard using the 1.5 version for 10.5. The installs went ok (except for py-mysql but I worked around it and posted a comment on the bug). Now I'm seeing strange errors in a few places. I randomly get "Bus error" errors that terminate Python. I'm not sure why and there doesn't seem to be a pattern. Sometimes something simple like "import sys" will throw a Bus error. I've even gotten one by doing "print a" where "a = [1,2,3]". Has anyone else noticed issues with Python on Leopard? Here's my installed ports: The following ports are currently installed: apr @1.2.11_0+darwin_9 (active) apr-util @1.2.10_0 (active) curl @7.17.1_0 (active) db44 @4.4.20_1 (active) expat @2.0.1_0 (active) gawk @3.1.5_2 (active) gettext @0.17_1 (active) git-core @1.5.3.5_0+doc (active) libiconv @1.12_0 (active) mysql5 @5.0.45_3+server (active) ncurses @5.6_0 (active) ncursesw @5.6_0 (active) neon @0.26.4_0 (active) openssh @4.7p1_1 (active) openssl @0.9.8g_0 (active) p5-error @0.15_0 (active) perl5.8 @5.8.8_0 (active) pkgconfig @0.22_0 (active) popt @1.12_0 (active) py-elementtree @1.2.6-20050316_1 (active) py-markdown @1.6a_1 (active) py-mysql @1.2.2_0 (active) py-readline @2.4.4_0 (active) py-setuptools @0.6c7_0 (active) py-textile @2.0.11_0 (active) python24 @2.4.4_1+darwin_9 (active) readline @5.2.007_0+darwin_9 (active) rsync @2.6.9_1 (active) sqlite3 @3.5.2_0 (active) subversion @1.4.5_0 (active) wget @1.10.2_0 (active) zlib @1.2.3_1 (active) Thanks, Rob

Kismet on OSX 10.5.1 Leopard
by caliel＠caliel.no-ip.org 19 Nov '07

I am having trouble with kismet on leopard. Details are as follows -- iBook G-4 1.2 GHz -- Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (4.170.25.8) -- MacPorts 1.520 -- OSX 10.5.1 -- Kismet 2007.10.R1 I made a backup of the original config file kismet.conf to kismet.conf.DIST before changes were made. The results of a diff from the edited file to the original file are as follows. Yliakum:~ caliel$ diff /opt/local/etc/kismet.conf /opt/local/etc/kismet.conf.DIST 13c13 < suiduser=caliel --- > suiduser=your_user_here 27c27 < source=darwin,en1,airport_extreme --- > source=none,none,addme Kismet fails as follows.

The README included with the install has the Airport Extreme (Broadcom and Atheros) listed as supported by the "darwin" capture source. Later in the README the Airport Extreme (Broadcom) is listed in the section "Chipsets known to NOT WORK" Google indicates, using the search term: wlt1 "device not configured", that at least one other person has observed this behavior. My question is obviously how do I get kismet working from here. But I would also like to know what wlt1 is. Furthermore, why kismet is trying to configure it as a capture source as well as en1? I have tried to be thorough in my description of the circumstances. If any further information is required to understand the situation, please let me know. --Caliel

To start apache2 now and at system startup: sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2.plist To stop apache2 now and not start it at system startup: sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/ org.macports.apache2.plist For mysql5 +server: sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist and: sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/ org.macports.mysql5.plist If you only installed mysql5, and not mysql5 +server, you'll have to uninstall mysql5 and install mysql5 +server: sudo port -f uninstall mysql5 sudo port clean --work mysql5 sudo port install mysql5 +server
