Re: First port installation fails
by Richard Tobin 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

> As the > error message says: > > "You must install or activate this package with '-f' (force) as it > needs to overwrite files installed by the perl5.8 port" The problem is not that the error message isn't clear. It's that you don't expect to get error messages during port installations unless your port system is messed up. There's no indication that this particular error is expected. -- Richard

problems with second macports installation
by Daniel Oberhoff 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Hi, I just installed a second macport as per instructions to play around with 64bit builds. But now my first installation seems to use the database of the second, even though that went into /opt/local64 and not paths are set there or anything...??? Daniel

binary distribution of ports
by Michael Grunewalder 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Hello, I'm trying to build binary packages to deploy them to some machines at work. The problem I have is, that the package is created, however dependent files are not included. For example: I build the package with sudo port pkg apache2 the apache package is created however when I install it on the other machine it won't run because the dependent files are missing. Do I have to build packages for every dependent file that is compiled during the build process or is there an easier way to get a nice "all in one" deployment package? System Information: Build machine with MacPorts: MacBook Core 2 Duo Deployment Machines (for testing) without MacPorts: MacBook Core 2 Duo iMac Core Duo all machines run on OS X 10.5 Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance Mike

perl5.8 vs perl5.9 discrepancy
by John Lauck 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

While I was debugging a perl script and installing various cpan modules I noticed I had both perl5.8 and 5.9 installed. Both were marked as active but perl5.8 was linked to /opt/local/bin/perl. I decided to deactivate perl5.8, deactivate perl5.9 and then reactivate perl5.9. After doing so the /opt/local/bin/perl link is gone so it doesn't link to to perl5.9 (as I would expect). Is this a bug?

PerlMagick build on a PPC G5 mac os X 10.4
by Constant Dupuis 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

Hi, I try to build the PerlMagick package (Image::Magick). I try using CPAN and fink nothing works. SO now I try with macports. ImageMagick is installed (with macports) and working. When if I try to build the PerlMagick module I'm told that /opt/local/ bin/perl is not found. I try to use the configure.perl statement to force port tu use the install perl interpreter already installed on my machine. Is it possible ? If I install the macport Perl interpreter won't it clash with the Mac OS X perl ? Any clue ? Thanks ! Constant
