gFTP runtime error
by Daniel B. Koch 17 Mar '07

17 Mar '07

Hi folks, Installed gFTP from here: http://gftp.darwinports.com/ When I try to connect I get the following error: Cannot open master pty : No such file or directory I note there is a patch file available: patch-pty.c.diff but am not sure how to apply it within the port environment, or if this will solve the problem. I'm running Darwin 8.9.1 on an Intel MacBook Pro. Thanks, Dan -- Dr. Daniel B. Koch Oak Ridge National Lab http://www.ornl.gov/sci/gist/bios/bio_koch.html (865) 241-9096

Re: GTK applications behave weird if locale is set to anything other than "C"

Hi, @Yves I've never seen the Gtk-Warning below, though I am using "de_DE.UTF-8". My open file dialog of Gnucash also shows everything in alphabetical order. Something else must be wrong. @Rolf, as you are using an Intel-Mac and I am sitting on a PowerPC: What's in your /usr/share/locale/ ? That seems to be the place where GTK-apps get their localization stuff (I was able to fix Gnucash's missing EURO-Sign () by editing /usr/share/locale/de_DE.UTF-8/LC_MONETARY. ) . What happens if you type "locale" and "locale -a" in a terminal? @all If GTK-apps read their language specific settings from usr/share/locale, what is /opt/local/share/locale used for ????

Using the fallback C locale. And the only way of dealing with many problems is indeed to avoid localisation. But I do use LANG=fr and nothing else (no _CA, no LC_ALL) and many things do work quite fine, including gimp. yves _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users(a)lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users ___________________________________________________________ Inbox full of unwanted email?

python crashes when using gnome bindings/gobject
by Paul Beard 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

If anyone has seen/is seeing this, there is an open and unconfirmed issue in the GNOME project bugzilla database[1]. It's reproducible for me but that's not enough to confirm it. I built the required ports with debugging and was able to extract traces in gdb for this. If you run into this and want to add this to your built ports, you can add the requisite bits to your Portfile(s) as well. so far a solution is elusive ;-) 1. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417004 -- Paul Beard contact info: www.paulbeard.org/paulbeard.vcf pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pdb206/ Are you trying to win an argument or solve a problem?

Re: Hacking libsdl

Yes, Yves. Bad copy/paste on my part. So, I made the following change to libsdl's Portfile: 47 platform darwin 8 { 48 patchfiles patch-configure 49 configure.env CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 CPP=/usr/bin/cpp-4.0 CXX=/usr/bin/g++-4.0 -Dmain=SDL_main 50 build.env CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 CPP=/usr/bin/cpp-4.0 CXX=/ usr/bin/g++-4.0 But when I tried to install libsdl, I got the following error: # port install libsdl Portfile changed since last build; discarding previous state. ---> Fetching libsdl ---> Verifying checksum(s) for libsdl ---> Extracting libsdl ---> Applying patches to libsdl ---> Configuring libsdl Error: Target com.apple.configure returned: configure failure: shell command "cd "/opt/local/var/db/dports/build/ _opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dp orts_devel_libsdl/work/SDL-1.2.11" && CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 CPP=/usr/ bin/cpp-4.0 CXX=/usr/bin/g++-4.0 CFLAGS=-Dmain=SDL_main ./configure -- prefix=/opt/local --enable-shared --mandir=/opt/local/share/man" returned error 77 Command output: checking build system type... powerpc-apple-darwin8.7.0 checking host system type... powerpc-apple-darwin8.7.0 checking for gcc... /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details.

Newbie question
by Matthieu Dubois 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

Dear Macports Users, I am newbie to macports and even to the terminal. I needed gtk2 for compatibility with RGtk2 (a R stat software package). I thus installed mac ports (from binary), and port install gtk2 without any problem. However, when trying to to install the R package (within R, of course), no GTK was detected (and installation failed). Checking the path in my ~/.profile gives: export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH Thus, my --certainly-- basic question: what's wrong ? How can I check that gtk2 was correctly installed (port installed indicates gtk2 was installed) and accessible ? Thanks a lot, Matthieu Dubois

Wanted to take over maintenance of "fox" port...
by Lyle Johnson 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

I'm interested in taking over maintenance of the "fox" port (which appears to have been abandoned). Since I'm new to this, I wanted to confirm that no one else is already working on it. I also wanted to confirm that the procedure for submitting a new or updated port is to submit a Trac ticket for it, and then notify the commiter(s) about it. Thanks in advance for, um, confirmation of these questions. ;)

Firefox-x11 --any chance?
by Stefan Bruda 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

Hi, Is there any chance at all to have Firefox running under MacPorts on Intel Macs? I have stumbled upon Bug #10251 <http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/10251> as (I guess) everybody else, and then I tried to build 2.0.0.2 with the same effect. I don't know what else to try, but I am willing to help if somebody gives me any clue on the matter. The absence of an X11 version of firefox is a big problem for me, since as an old-school Unix/Linux user I hate the Aqua UI and I hate even more the mixed X11/Aqua UI I am forced now to use. So any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance, Stefan -- If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic. --Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass

GTK applications behave weird if locale is set to anything other than "C"
by Rolf Schäuble 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

Hello, I've come across a pretty weird problem: At first, I noticed that the "open file" dialog of Gimp didn't show files and directories in alphabetical order (I clicked on the column header a few times to make sure that the dialog actually try to sort by file name). I also noticed that two menus were missing (skript-fu and python-fu). As that time, my locale was set to de_DE.UTF-8. Then I changed LANG/LC_ALL to C. Suddenly the order of files in the "open file" dialog was correct, and Gimp displayed the two missing menus. It seems that of all locales, only C works. de_DE (without the UTF-8 part) didn't work, and neither did en_US or en_GB. I could find the same issue in gnucash. Only with the C locale did the "open file" dialog display files in the correct order. My MacPorts packages are quite up-to-date (I did a full upgrade yesterday after finding the problem, but upgrading didn't change anything). Does anyone have some ideas, or hints of how I could continue narrowing this down? Thanks a lot Rolf
