Mplayer and apple remote
by Matrix Mole 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was looking at the variants for mplayer, and noticed one there for noappleremote and it's description says that this would disable apple remote support for the build. I was wondering if this referred to the apple remote control software, or the infrared apple remote control that is used with the newer systems. Anyone know which is it?

As we provide multiple python versions, there is no other solution possible. $ sudo port install python_select $ sudo python_select python25 Rainer

MacPorts 1.6.0 dmg now available for Panther (Mac OS X 10.3)
by Boey Maun Suang 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Hi everyone, Firstly, apologies for cross-posting, but I wanted to make sure everyone gets this. This message is to notify all of our wonderful Panther-using MacPorts users that we've finally ironed out the bugs that were preventing MacPorts 1.6.0 from operating correctly on Panther, and have now uploaded a Panther dmg incorporating our fixes, which you can now download (you can fetch it directly [1], or go via the installation page of the MacPorts website [2]). A big thank you to Juan Manuel Palacios and Kevin Ballard for providing the fixes, to Chris Janton for confirming that one particular problem wasn't just with my build machine, and to all of the Panther users who reported the problems! For those Panther users who like installing MacPorts from source instead of from our dmgs, the 1.6.0 tarball doesn't yet incorporate the Panther fixes, but we'll be releasing a 1.6.1 update soon, so you should have to wait too long. If you're really keen, however, you can still do a 1.6.0 source install by applying a few patches from our repository. Those not interested can safely skip this bit, but if you are interested, here's what to do: === Start of patch instructions === 1. Download and extract the MacPorts tarball as normal (see the "Source Install" section of the MacPorts Guide [3]). 2. Download the changesets 32105 [4], 32212 [5], 32514 [6] and 32525 [7] from the MacPorts repository, copying or saving them to the "MacPorts 1.x.x" directory that the MacPorts tarball extracted itself into. If your browser displays the patches instead of saving them, use your browser's "File > Save As..." menu item -- they should save with filenames like "changeset_32105.diff". 3. At the command line, change into the directory as per the MacPorts Guide [3], but before running the "./configure" command as described there, run the following commands (one for each of the changeset files you saved above): % patch -p3 < changeset_32105.diff % patch -p3 < changeset_32212.diff % patch -p3 < changeset_32514.diff % patch -p3 < changeset_32525.diff 4. Follow the rest of the source install procedure as normal. === End of patch instructions === Don't worry, we won't be making you source installers get used to doing things like this! Once again, apologies to all our Panther users out there, and thanks for using MacPorts. Wishing you all a happy 2008, Boey Maun Suang [1] http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/downloads/MacPorts-1.6.0/MacPor… [2] http://www.macports.org/install.php [3] http://guide.macports.org/#installing.source [4] http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/32105?format=diff&ne… [5] http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/32212?format=diff&ne… [6] http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/32514?format=diff&ne… [7] http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/32525?format=diff&ne… -- Boey Maun Suang (Boey is my surname) Email: boeyms(a)macports.org

"The following install step failed: run postflight script for MacPorts-1.6.0."
by Stefan Schwarzer 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

Hi there, I wanted to install MacPorts on my Mac - MacPro with Leopard, latest version. But, while using the disk image, the installation finished with this message: "The following install step failed: run postflight script for MacPorts-1.6.0." Can anyone let me know what I should do? Thanks for any hints!

10.5 and $PATH variable
by Matrix Mole 09 Jan '08

09 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just obtained a new mac mini today with Leopard installed on it. Since this is my first experience with 10.5, I'm still learning some things. One of the first things I did though was to install macports. After the installation, I noticed that the .profile file wasn't modified to include /opt/local/bin and /opt/local/sbin like my 10.4 version was. At least, I think I installed the 10.4 version from the dmg image. Anyway, after doing a little looking around on the file system and reading the startup files, I discovered two things. First, there is no default .bash_profile, .bashrc, or .profile in the users startup directory. No problem there, just left up as an experience for the user to perform if they need to customize their environment beyond the default. Secndly, I learned that Leopard has /etc/paths and /etc/manpaths files that are used during login to set the default paths and manpaths. By adding /opt/local/bin and /opt/local/sbin to /etc/paths and putting /opt/local/man into the man path, I can guarantee that these are added to the path for any user on the system. This is actually a pretty cool idea, and it prompted the reason for my email. Could it be possible to modify the port install scripts to add it's paths to those two files on 10.5? Those files don't exist nor are used on 10.4 as I already checked, so the 10.4 install scripts wouldn't need modified. Just wondering, and not even sure if this has already come up and been discussed to death. Since I just got Leopard, I hadn't been reading anything related to that version up till now.

Not a thing. :) If you want an update to be made to the port, just file a ticket in the issue tracker and attach your patch. You can add me to the Cc line in the ticket so that I'll see it right away and can commit it.

Re: [MacPorts] #13847: pidgin 2.3.1 does not start (old gtk-x11 version)

Dear Victor, please keep mailing to the macports-users mailinglist. I need more information here. Please do: sudo port -d selfupdate sudo port -d uninstall pidgin sudo port -d install pidgin and show us the relevant lines from the pidgin configure process. Kind regards Thomas Victor Escobar wrote: > Original error: >> dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.0.dylib >> Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/pidgin Reason: Incompatible library >> version: pidgin requires version 1201.0.0 or later, but >> libgtk-x11-2.0.0.dylib provides version 1001.0.0 Trace/BPT trap > Thomas, > Thank you for your comment. Do you have any pointers on where I should continue my investigation, since you've shown that it's not a problem with the Pidgin port /per se/? It's very interesting to note that on my box *libgtk-x11-2.0.0.dylib* is symlinked to *libgtk-x11-2.0.0.1200.2.dylib*, even though it's somehow being reported to Pidgin as 1001.0.0 -- any idea how this could be?

Safari can't verify identity of the website "www.macosforge.com"
by David L Ballenger 09 Jan '08

09 Jan '08

When logging into MacPorts and being redirected to www.macosforge.com I get the error in the subject line. It says the certificate was signed by an unknown certifying authority. According to the certificate details it was issued by opensource.apple.com. I'm running Safari on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5.1. I would hope that this system would have the latest set of authority certificates. Is this a problem on my system? Is opensource.apple.com not the correct certifying authority or should I just tell Safari to accept certificates issued by opensource.apple.com? Thanks -David
