GNOME applications menu empty
by LD 22 May '07

22 May '07

The GNOME applications menu shows no installed applications in any user account. Also, when I try to access help within GNOME, I get an error message about no file association. I tried editing applications.menu based on information from the GNOME lists, but to no avail. I have all the current GNOME ports installed under 10.4.9 PPC. KDE is also installed, and seems to work about as well as you would expect. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for replies.

Backup failure after updating python24 port to 2.4.4_1
by Adam Mercer 22 May '07

22 May '07

Hi After updating the python24 port to the newly released 2.4.4_1 my duplicity backups are failing. I call duplicity with the following options: duplicity --no-encryption --no-print-statistics \ --exclude '**/.DS_Store' --exclude '**/.Spotlight-V100' \ --exclude '**/.TemporaryItems' --exclude '**/.Trashes' \ --exclude '**/Desktop?DB' --exclude '**/Desktop?DF' \ /Users/ram file:///Volumes/Backup/Home This results in the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/local/bin/duplicity", line 373, in ? if __name__ == "__main__": main() File "/opt/local/bin/duplicity", line 366, in main if not sig_chain: full_backup(col_stats) File "/opt/local/bin/duplicity", line 142, in full_backup bytes_written = write_multivol("full", tarblock_iter, globals.backend) File "/opt/local/bin/duplicity", line 79, in write_multivol else: at_end = gpg.GzipWriteFile(tarblock_iter, tdp.name) File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/duplicity/gpg.py", line 254, in GzipWriteFile try: new_block = block_iter.next(bytes_to_go) File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/duplicity/diffdir.py", line 407, in next result = self.process(self.input_iter.next(), size) File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/duplicity/diffdir.py", line 487, in process data, last_block = self.get_data_block(fp, size - 512) File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/duplicity/diffdir.py", line 507, in get_data_block buf = fp.read(max_size) File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/duplicity/diffdir.py", line 338, in read buf = self.infile.read(length) IOError: [Errno 34] Result too large I've reported this problem on the duplicity mailing list but so far no-one has got back to me. Does anyone have any suggestions? Cheers Adam

Re: macports-users Digest, Vol 9, Issue 75

Hi Guillame I can partially help shed light ... the python24 install by default includes a Framework. Having only recently transitioned from solaris to osx so I have no idea what the significance of that is beyond it seeming to be a way of bundling libraries along with their headers and other resources. [I'd like to know though .. anyone?] As to the two site-packages ... the install is patched so that both appear in the default path. You'll find that (i) any packages that use distutils to install themselves (ie setup.py style) will appear in /opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages as distutils doesn't realise its on a mac as opposed to a generic unix (os.name = 'posix') (ii) any packages that handle their own install and try to munge sys.prefix will end up in the Framework site-packages directory (as sys.prefix=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4) You can avoid building a framework if you install python24 with the +puredarwin variant. I haven't actually done this myself but I expect it would look like a bog standard linux/solaris install. derek. > Message: 9 > Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 10:50:10 +0900 > From: Guillaume Maury <gmaury-pm(a)xinlune.com> > Subject: Python directories > To: macports-users(a)lists.macosforge.org > Message-ID: <BAB86E25-39E8-45B2-8E1D-A4D72210890D(a)xinlune.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed > > Hi, > > I've been using port for a while now (my installation on my ibook is > around 2 or 3 years old) and I noticed something odd with my > installation. > > It seems I have 2 python directories (along with corresponding site- > package) > > /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ > python2.4/ > /opt/local/lib/python2.4/ > > Does anybody know why? > > I also noticed that bazaar-ng was installed in /opt/local/lib/ > python2.4/site-packages along with its dependencies > but the subversion bindings were installed in /opt/local/Library/ > Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages > > > Thanks.... > > > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > _____ > Yahoo!

Failed to initialize ports system, no suitable image found.
by Jeff Fry 22 May '07

22 May '07

Hi, I just installed macports for the first time and am having some difficulty getting started. What I've done so far: 1. ran installer (apparently successfully) 2. ran dhcp148:~ admin$ sudo port selfupdate and got: no suitable image found. Did find: /opt/local/share/darwinports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture while executing "load /opt/local/share/darwinports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib" ("package ifneeded" script) invoked from within "package_native require Pextlib 1.0" ("eval" body line 1) invoked from within "eval package_native $args" (procedure "package" line 14) invoked from within "package require Pextlib 1.0" (procedure "dportinit" line 311) invoked from within "dportinit ui_options global_options global_variations" Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize ports system, no suitable image found. Did find: /opt/local/share/darwinports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture I googled "Failed to initialize ports system" and found references to folks having trouble if they were also using Fink, but I haven't installed fink on this machine. Nothing I saw in poking through the search results helped so... Any ideas what might be the problem? Thanks! Jeff

Python directories
by Guillaume Maury 22 May '07

22 May '07

Hi, I've been using port for a while now (my installation on my ibook is around 2 or 3 years old) and I noticed something odd with my installation. It seems I have 2 python directories (along with corresponding site- package) /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ python2.4/ /opt/local/lib/python2.4/ Does anybody know why? I also noticed that bazaar-ng was installed in /opt/local/lib/ python2.4/site-packages along with its dependencies but the subversion bindings were installed in /opt/local/Library/ Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages Thanks.... ___________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Re: Call for MacPorts documentation/site effort
by Fred Bauder 21 May '07

Yes, it is a wiki. Anyone who has something to contribute should just jump in. If something is wrong, correct it. Leading in the wiki context is contributing information about what you know. And monitoring the contributions of others.

Re: Am I opening tickets improperly?
by Boey Maun Suang 21 May '07

21 May '07

Hi Glen, > Maybe only committers can change tickets (other than attach files > or making comments)? Right on the money (I tested it), which, as you say, is a bit of a problem for those without commit rights who make a mistake when filing their ticket (which I did a few times before I was granted commit rights). I don't know whether Trac (or MacPorts' Trac setup) allows fine-grained enough control to allow slightly more rights over tickets for those who create them, but if so, I agree that it would be nice to add. It's well out of mind hands, unfortunately. Anyone able to fill us in on this? Kind regards, Maun Suang -- Boey Maun Suang (Boey is my surname) Email: boeyms at macports dot org
