problem during com.apple.install with my new Port
by Michael Thon 07 May '07

07 May '07

Hello - I am having trouble with a new Portfile that I'm writing. Here is the relevant part of the debug output: DEBUG: Executing com.apple.install (hmmer) couldn't change working directory to "/opt/local/var/db/dports/build/ _Users_mike_macports_dports_science_hmmer/work/destroot": no such file or directory DEBUG: Executing com.apple.activate (hmmer) ---> Activating hmmer 2.3.2_0 Error: Target com.apple.activate returned: Image error: Source file / opt/local/var/db/dports/software/hmmer/2.3.2_0 does not appear to exist (cannot lstat it). Unable to activate port hmmer. Warning: the following items did not execute (for hmmer): com.apple.activate Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. When executing install, macports seems to be trying to change to a directory that does not exist. However, the directory: /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/ _Users_mike_macports_dports_science_hmmer/work/hmmer-2.3.2/ does exist on my system. The package seems to compile just fine. Thanks Mike

GTKwave instalation failed
by Johnny Wang 07 May '07

07 May '07

Dear all, I tried installing GTKwave using the command port -v install gtkwave, it worked before but now it seems to fail at the last step. Apparently the GTKwave has a version update recently and it's now v3.0.24, so Macports has trouble downloading the version 3.0.22 file. My solution is to use the backed-up 3.0.22 installed before on other computers, but I think Macports needs an update on this version number. Thank you. Johnny Wang @ Taiwan

rsync errors
by Mark 07 May '07

07 May '07

Hi mates! I am trying to install a program via MacPorts. MacPorts itself is installed correctly in version 1.400. I am using a MacBook ;), like many new users do ;). Well, when I try to install a port, I have to sync before. When I try to sync, I get the following error: port sync failed: sync failed doing rsync It doesn't mean much to me. I am sorry, but I am a new Mac User. To analyse these error, because I need darwinports ;), I installed a shareware called Port Authority, which is a GUI for MacPorts. It displays this error: Synchronizing from rsync://rsync.darwinports.org/dpupdate/dports rsync: failed to connect to rsync.darwinports.org: Operation timed out (60) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at /SourceCache/rsync/ rsync-24.1/rsync/clientserver.c(94) Does anybody know how to fix this error? What is the problem? Yours, Mark

I can't seem to get Pkgconfig to intall. Keeps telling me unable to verify checksums. I've done 'port clean --all pkgconfig' a few times now and retried thinking it was a bad download.

Re: FAQ for new users/busted installs

As one of the former fink users, I'll be happy to see your FAQ additions. I tried to install MacPorts before I blew away /sw and edited .profile. Since then, I've un-installed and re-installed MacPorts a couple of times with the same result (appended below). Help would be appreciated.

You need to run "port install" (and other commands that modify your installation, like "port uninstall", "port sync", "port selfupdate") as root. Usually you'd do this by prefacing the command with "sudo" ("SuperUser DO"): $ sudo port install wireshark

FAQ for new users/busted installs
by paul beard 05 May '07

05 May '07

I have seen a few instances of new MacPorts users having issues that can be traced back to a fink installation on the same system. I'm starting to think that should be question that gets asked upfront on some of these cases. A misconfigured PATH, some debris in /sw can hose things up and it's no always evident that MacPorts isn't to blame. -- Paul Beard words: http://paulbeard.org/wordpress pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pdb206/ Are you trying to win an argument or solve a problem?

Re: web server: macports vs. mac osx server

These instructions were pretty helpful in getting apache and php5 running on my mac. Should they be in the wiki? I'm writing down the steps I took to get these apps working (less NeDi). Can I contribute it to the wiki?
