compilation of mono
by olivier SAINT-EVE 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

hello, I try to install mono and I would like to know hom many time it takes with macports, as I left my macBook run all the night without any change on the terminal. I have exited, launched again the terminal, and the installation process but it seems to freeze... thank you, lolveley.

by Malcolm Fitzgerald 18 Jul '07

I've just upgraded to 10.4. At this point everything seems to be running smoothly in X11. Is there anything that I should be or could be doing in MacPorts to facilitate this upgrade? malcolm

Avoiding the installation of dependencies
by Alec Resnick 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Hi! I'm looking to install py-ipython, py-beautifulsoup, and psycopg2. I'm running python25 and postgresql82, but those ports "require" python24 and postgresql81, despite the versions that macports installs supporting python25 and postgresql82. I was wondering: is there a way to force a port to install, without installing its dependents? I know I could just compile this from source, but I really like using macports. . . Thanks! Gratefully, a.

Port can't find package macports?
by Malcolm Fitzgerald 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

I've just upgraded from 10.3 to 10.4 and immediately prior to that I upgraded MacPorts. The macports upgrade went smoothly and everything was working. Following the OS upgrade I see this message when I try to sync or upgrade. can't find package macports while executing "package require macports" (file "/opt/local/bin/port" line 42) malcolm

copy from Mac OS X and paste to kde apps
by Jonathan Stickel 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

I've been a long-time linux user and have started using a Mac. I'm getting X11 setup using macports and have installed (ported) KDE. I would like to copy and paste back and forth between Mac OS X apps and X11 apps. I am generally able to do so by following this FAQ: http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1232.html (Q: How do I copy and paste using X11 for Mac OS X? Q: How do I make copy and paste work with other window managers?) However, pasting into kde specific applications with middle-click is not working (e.g. in konsole). I can paste into other X11 apps, e.g. xterm and emacs, even when those apps are launched from within KDE using the kwin window manager. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jonathan

Python Tkinter without X11
by max.e.brown＠gmail.com 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hello, I was trying to work through some examples of Tkinter usage in python, and realised that the Macports python24 and py-tkinter seem to require X11. Is there some way to do Carbon/ Aqua Tkinter using the Macports python? Is there some obvious place to look for documentation on this?

stalling popt with macports
by olivier SAINT-EVE 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hi there! I want to install popt (dependency of gnome) but I have some problems. I must tell you this is a mess in the files: because it did not run, I went to the temporary directory that macport created ( "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_popt/work/popt-1.11) and I modified some files; I also deleted then restored some files in /opt/local/lib. All this without success, other than change the error message. Here is the last; when I enter "sudo port install popt", I have: ---> Building popt with target all Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_popt/work/popt-1.11" && make all " returned error 2 Command output: make all-recursive Making all in po make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. /bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -Wall -O2 -no-undefined -L/opt/local/lib -lintl -L/opt/local/lib -liconv -lc -R/opt/local/lib -Wl,-framework -Wl,CoreFoundation -L/opt/local/lib -o libpopt.la -rpath /opt/local/lib popt.lo findme.lo poptparse.lo poptconfig.lo popthelp.lo poptint.lo gcc -dynamiclib -o .libs/libpopt.0.0.0.dylib .libs/popt.o .libs/findme.o .libs/poptparse.o .libs/poptconfig.o .libs/popthelp.o .libs/poptint.o -L/opt/local/lib /opt/local/lib/libintl.dylib /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib -lc -Wl,-framework -Wl,CoreFoundation -install_name /opt/local/lib/libpopt.0.dylib -Wl,-compatibility_version -Wl,1 -Wl,-current_version -Wl,1.0 i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: .libs/popt.o: No such file or directory i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: .libs/findme.o: No such file or directory i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: .libs/poptparse.o: No such file or directory i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: .libs/poptconfig.o: No such file or directory i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: .libs/popthelp.o: No such file or directory i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: .libs/poptint.o: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [libpopt.la] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. The top of the message is the building of the source, so consequently I deduce the configuration was a success 8-) . My method to compile the stuff is I try "port install popt", I see that some files are missing (why?),I copy these files in the temporary directory, and I try another time. But now I'm lost: the error message talk of ".libs", and I don't see where it can be... Doesn't anybody know a way to solve the problem? lolveley.

I just installed gimp-dev and tried to start the program for the first time. However, I am getting the following error: $ sudo /opt/local/bin/gimp-2.3 process 458: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/opt/local/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or directory See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue.

I just committed Ryan's patch to fix the error installing cyrus- sasl2 all of you reported. Please do excuse me for taking so long to act on it, I've been busy ;-) My commit log contains some information of what's at fault here, but further inspection (reading through all the mails I got for this) reveals the error is not in the archivemode code but actually independent of it, both Tabitha and Blair proved the same error crops up when installing directly (either image mode or direct, I just meant having archivemode disabled). Interestingly enough, the first report I got for this error was on June 15th, the same day I merged my dp2mp-move branch back into trunk. Not sure if the two are related though, as I did not touch anything in the installation process other than consistently changing names across all our sources. I'll investigate however. Ticket tracking this error is #12306 per my commit log, but if you're only interested in getting back up and running simply wait about half an hour from now and sync your sources, Ryan's patch should flow into your ports tree at the time. Regards (and sorry again for the wait!),... -jmpp
