Problems installing pkgconfig?
by Mike Jones 13 May '07

13 May '07

Hi, I've just downloaded and installed darwinports(macports) and am having problems with pkgconfig - which is a dependency of a number of files. The command I'm running is: sudo port install -d pkgconfig ---> Verifying checksum(s) for pkgconfig Error: Checksum (md5) mismatch for pkg-config-0.21.tar.gz Error: Checksum (sha1) mismatch for pkg-config-0.21.tar.gz Error: Checksum (rmd160) mismatch for pkg-config-0.21.tar.gz Error: Target com.apple.checksum returned: Unable to verify file checksums Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. Is there a problem with the package, or am I doing something wrong? I'm running MacOSX 10.4.9 Regards, Mike Jones

Apple's assembler
by David Liontooth 13 May '07

13 May '07

In packaging transcode for macports, Chuck Remes noticed Apple's assembler is based on an outdated GNU assembler that doesn't support all the modern MMX, SSE2, SSE3, etc. extensions in open source applications. On OSX I have this: $ as -v Apple Computer, Inc. version cctools-622.5.obj~13, GNU assembler version 1.38 In contrast, Debian sid uses: # as -v GNU assembler version 2.17.50 (x86_64-linux-gnu) using BFD version (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.17.50.20070426 The assembler is part of the binutils package, which is ported, but gas, the GNU assembler, is left out. Of course the Apple assembler supports all the modern extensions in their own software, but after GNU v1.28, Apple made the decision to move these binaries into their 'Accelerate framework' (http://developer.apple.com/performance/accelerateframework.html) -- as far as I understand as a part of their incremental moves to close the Darwin source. In the short run, and perhaps the long, this likely means we're not going to see free software's assembly code compile at all on OSX. Views? Dave

"No module named _md5" error in Python 2.5
by Silvio Domini 12 May '07

12 May '07

I have tried to install the latest setuptools for Python 2.5 by using the script ez_setup.py from PEAK's website but the script aborts with the error: File "/opt/local/lib/python2.5/hashlib.py", line 31, in __get_builtin_constructor import _md5 ImportError: No module named _md5 With the official Python 2.5 distribution such an error doesn't occur and the command "from hashlib import md5" works flawlessly.

"port variants mplayer" will list the available variants (there are quite a few for various encoding options). Thanks, Eric

/opt became visible in Finder

After installing some packages, /opt has become visible in my Finder. Is there any way to have this continue to be hidden? I've tried repairing permissions with no luck, and Google has turned up nothing.

Hi again, Daniel. I'm Cc'ing the mailing list again on this reply. Let's keep the discussion there so others can participate too. MacPorts does not look for libraries that were not installed with MacPorts. So MacPorts should not be making use of the CUPS you installed separately. That is, at least, the intention, for reasons explained in the FAQ: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/ FAQ#WhyisMacPortsusingitsownlibraries However, it is possible that MacPorts is inadvertently picking up your rogue CUPS and that it is incomplete in some way and is throwing things off. Finally, Mac OS X already includes CUPS. So please uninstall the CUPS you installed separately and try again. Is there anything else you have manually installed like this? Perhaps it's conflicting with things too. MacPorts is intended to handle all your 3rd-party software installation needs. If it doesn't meet all your needs, for example because some port is missing, let use know and maybe we can add it. I was also confused how you were able to have Apple's X11 and MacPorts' XFree86 at the same time. That's not supposed to be possible. If you already have Apple's X11 installed, attempting to install the XFreeX86 port should fail and complain that bits are already there. So presumably you installed the MacPorts XFree86, then Apple's X11 on top, which happily replaced the MacPorts files. I would recommend you clean this up: "sudo port -f uninstall XFree86" to get rid of the MacPorts component, then "sudo rm -rf /usr/X11R6 / Applications/Utilities/X11.app /Library/Receipts/X11SDK.pkg /Library/ Receipts/X11Update2006.pkg /Library/Receipts/X11User.pkg" to get rid of any remaining parts of the Apple component, then install either one or the other, as you wish: Either install X11User.pkg from the Mac OS X DVD and X11SDK.pkg from the Xcode disk image, OR install XFree86 from MacPorts. Don't attempt to do both at the same time. I personally have had great success with Apple's X11. YMMV.

Installing mplayer
by Elise van Looij 11 May '07

Which variants should one choose when installing mplayer on an Intel MacBook running OS 10.4.9? I've installed fontconfig (pkgconfig was already installed). I'm hoping mplayer will let me play all those videos on the BBC website that RealPlayer gives connection errors on. Elise van Looij
