what configuration files are read?
by Michael Stillwell 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

How does "port" figure out which configuration files to read? Mine is now trying to get configuration information from a non-existent file: I have a (source-compiled) version installed in /Ports, and then installed another temporary version into $HOME/scratch/ports (via ./ configure --prefix=$HOME/scratch/ports, to see whether a dependency problem with ncursesw had been fixed). Running /Ports/bin/port now produces an error message: boom:~$ /Ports/bin/port --help sources_conf must be set in /Users/mjs/scratch/ports/etc/macports/ macports.conf or in your /Users/mjs/.macports/macports.conf file while executing "mportinit ui_options global_options global_variations" Error: /Ports/bin/port: Failed to initialize MacPorts, sources_conf must be set in /Users/mjs/scratch/ports/etc/macports/macports.conf or in your /Users/mjs/.macports/macports.conf file Where is it getting the "scratch" directory from? There's nothing in $HOME/.macports except for a history file, and there's nothing in my environment either. /Ports/bin/ports itself appears to be unchanged, and rgrep over the /Ports directory gives nothing as well. Also, why does "make install" require root privileges? I tried to install without "sudo" to try to prevent the temporary install from making changes to my existing configuration files, but it won't actually install this way. --M. -- http://beebo.org +44 78 2118 9049

I am away from access to alternate hardware, please let me know what you find. I have not found a resolution as yet. I saw you also responded to a post at the Kismet site, perhaps one of the 3 of us will find a solution. --C trolley wrote: > > > caliel wrote: >> >> >> Kismet fails as follows. >> >> Yliakum:~ caliel$ sudo kismet >> Password: >> Launching kismet_server: /opt/local/bin/kismet_server >> Will drop privs to caliel (502) gid 20 >> No specific sources given to be enabled, all will be enabled. >> Non-RFMon VAPs will be destroyed on multi-vap interfaces (ie, >> madwifi-ng) >> Enabling channel hopping. >> Enabling channel splitting. >> INFO: wlt1 looks like a Broadcom card running under Darwin. >> Source 0 (airport_extreme): Enabling monitor mode for darwin source >> interface en1 channel 6... >> î|07-11-19 14:00:48.175 kismet_server[3092:10b] † >> INFO: en1 looks like a Broadcom card running under Darwin and >> already >> has monitor mode enabled in the kernel. >> Source 0 (airport_extreme): Opening darwin source interface wlt1... >> FATAL: BIOCSETIF: wlt1: Device not configured >> Done. >> >> > > I'm getting the same error on a Powerbook G4.

unable to upgrade port py25-scipy
by Harry Parker 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

I have been having trouble for several weeks upgrading port py25-scipy. Today I did a port selfupdate and successfully upgraded g95 and tried to upgrade py25-scipy from from version 0.6.0_0. The attempted upgrade ends with: ------- building 'scipy.interpolate.dfitpack' extension error: extension 'scipy.interpolate.dfitpack' has Fortran sources but no Fortran compiler found Warning: the following items did not execute (for py25-scipy): org.macports.destroot org.macports.build Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1 ------- I tried this with the default variant and with the +g95 variant set explicitly. This is on a PowerPC G4 recently upgraded to Mac OS X 10.4.11. Any ideas?

Rebuild after Xcode update?
by Skip Montanaro 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

I'm currently using Xcode 2.2.1 and am having trouble building the Python 2.5 port. A little searching suggested I should update my Xcode, so I'm downloading the Xcode 2.5 image as I write this. Once I've updated my Xcode installation, what should I do on the MacPorts side of things? Is there some way to say "rebuild all" or do I just plow ahead with the Python 2.5 install and ignore the fact that everything else was built up to that point with Xcode 2.2.1? Thanks, Skip Montanaro

Ok to switch from Crypt to Shadow Password?
by Tabitha McNerney 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

Hello all -- I am happily running Leopard Server and installing MacPorts 1.6.0. Some of the ports install users in the local directory domain (with Leopard Apple has officially done away with NetInfo by the way). There is an option using Workgroup Manager -- a GUI tool only bundled by Apple with Mac OS X Server, to change the password type of local directory domain users (for example, the user "ldap" installed by MacPorts as part of the openldap port) from crypt to Shadow Password. Has anyone ever tried this and if so are there any reasons not to switch from crypt to Shadow Password? Thank, -T.M.

Some confusion about XFree86
by Tabitha McNerney 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

Hello all -- Its been a while since I've made a bunch of MacPorts, but I have an Xserve running Leopard Server 10.5.1 and wanted to give it a try with MacPorts 1.6.0. I had problems building XFree86 (I tried to install with the -d debug option and have saved the output in case it might be useful to submit to the Trac bug reporting system). Before submitting anything, I started poking around a bit, looking at some of the more recent posts about Leopard and XFree86 on the MacPorts mailing list and also noticing that Apple's X11 app is now based on X.org. I noticed that there are also some new (well, new since I last tried MacPorts 1.5.0 on a Tiger Server system in August of 2007), ports that seem to be related to X, such as xorg-util-macros and xorg-xproto (but even these newish ports still depend on XFree86). I'm wondering if anyone can provide a little clearer lay of the land / big picture to help me fill in the missing pieces (with apologies if there is a lot more details interwoven into these mail threads). Are there any recommended paths to take with regard to X11 app or building XFree86 port? Has anyone else had failure building XFree86 on Leopard Server 10.5.1 or Leopard 10.5.1? Thank you for any suggestions. Best regards, T.M.

gcc42 target bootstrap runs forever?
by skip＠pobox.com 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

I executed sudo port upgrade active this morning. It made it through several different port upgrades, but when it got to gcc42 it just seemed to run forever. I don't know how long I let it run before killing it, but it had to be at least two-three hours. I'm going to try installing gcc43 instead. Should the gcc42 upgrade have worked? I've got MacPorts 1.6.0 and Xcode 2.5 installed on a Powerbook G4 running OSX 10.4.11. Thx, -- Skip Montanaro - skip(a)pobox.com - http://www.webfast.com/~skip/

So who owns the macports Wordpress/TRAC system?
by paul beard 01 Jan '08

01 Jan '08

The reason I ask is that I would like to change my password to something more memorable, since it never makes into my keychain. And I can't touch my profile due to some permissions issues. But more importantly, the installed version is out of date: a lot of vulnerabilities have been addressed over the past few months, and it would be good to incorporate those changes. -- Paul Beard / www.paulbeard.org/ <paulbeard@gmail.com/paulbeard@mac.com>
