(Apologies in advance for the newbie question...) Is there a way to add oneself to the cc list of a MacPorts Trac ticket that you didn't create? thanks! chris

warnings during port upgrade outdated
by Thomas De Contes 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

hi :-) when i did port upgrade outdated i got # As MacPorts does not currently have a post-deactivate hook, # you will need to ensure that you manually remove the catalog # entry for this port when you uninstall it. To do so, run # "xmlcatmgr remove nextCatalog /Users/thomas/Documents/prgm/bin/ autoinstall/macports/share/xml/docbook/4.1.2/catalog.xml". # "xmlcatmgr remove nextCatalog /Users/thomas/Documents/prgm/bin/ autoinstall/macports/share/xsl/docbook-xsl/catalog.xml". # "xmlcatmgr remove nextCatalog /Users/thomas/Documents/prgm/bin/ autoinstall/macports/share/xml/docbook/4.2/catalog.xml". # "xmlcatmgr remove nextCatalog /Users/thomas/Documents/prgm/bin/ autoinstall/macports/share/xml/docbook/4.3/catalog.xml". # "xmlcatmgr remove nextCatalog /Users/thomas/Documents/prgm/bin/ autoinstall/macports/share/xml/docbook/4.4/catalog.xml". # "xmlcatmgr remove nextCatalog /Users/thomas/Documents/prgm/bin/ autoinstall/macports/share/xml/docbook/4.5/catalog.xml". what does that mean exactly ? is it because someone had not the time to code the complete uninstall process and i needn't remember it if i don't want to uninstall it now, or can't it be automated because of a technical pb and i should remember it ? -- j'agis contre l'assistanat, je travaille dans une SCOP !

What has been written to the .profile file has little to do with compilation. This is a facility of the shell to make it easier for users to run commands. Instead of typing the full path you can type just the name of the executable you wish to run. If the operating system wouldn't have the same settings for directories like /bin/ or /usr/sbin/ then you would have to type /bin/ ls to get a directory listing and /usr/sbin/diskutil to run the command line version of Disk Utility.

Problem involving automake/aclocal versions while installing tripwire
by Kurt L. 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

Hi, I'm setting up a new Tiger 10.4.11 machine, and I'd like to run tripwire (as I used to do on my old Tiger machine). I installed the latest Macports a few days ago, and tried installing tripwire with the usual 'sudo port install tripwire' command. All the dependencies download and build just fine, but when it tries to build the actual tripwire source I get this: <snip> ---> Building tripwire 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_security_tripwire/work/tripwire-2.4.1.2-src" && make all " returned error 2 Command output: cd . && /bin/sh /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_security_tripwire/work/tripwire-2.4.1.2-src/missing --run automake-1.10 --foreign configure.in:8: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.10.1, configure.in:8: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.in:8: comes from Automake 1.10. You should recreate configure.in:8: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again. WARNING: `automake-1.10' is needed, and you do not seem to have it handy on your system. You might have modified some files without having the proper tools for further handling them. Check the `README' file, it often tells you about the needed prerequirements for installing this package. You may also peek at any GNU archive site, in case some other package would contain this missing `automake-1.10' program. make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1 >From googling a bit appears that normally aclocal and automake are kept in sync, and the aclocal.m4 file generated by aclocal has its version number embedded in it. Automake is reading this file, and finds that that the aclocal version doesn't match its (automake's) version, and thus the barf. It appears that the choices are to downgrade to automake 1.10, or run a 1.10.1 version of aclocal to generate an aclocal.m4 file that automake will accept; the output above seems to suggest two different actions. I favor the latter option of generating a new aclocal with the higher version aclocal utility. Does anyone have any hints on how to reach into the process to do the latter (generate with aclocal version 1.10.1)? I guess I could re-run the install again with verbose turned on to see where it generates aclocal.m4, and then try mucking with some script to redirect it to an as-yet-unfound version of aclocal 1.10.1 somewhere in the directory under /opt... any shortcuts to solution appreciated! Thanks in advance, Kurt

Installation on OsX 10.5

I tried to install macports using the MacPorts 1.6.0.pkg on a system with Mac Os X 10.5.2 Xcode 3.0 X11 2.1.1 I also updated the Xcode with a March 8 posting. Got the message: "Install failed The following install step failed: run postflight script for MacPorts. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance" On the macport installer window. What should I do next? I couldn't find the postflight script. I did run following, which probably should tell me what to do, but I need some guidance: ======================== sudo ./port selfupdate couldn't load file "/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/ Pextlib.dylib": dlopen(/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/ Pextlib.dylib, 10): no suitable image found. Did find: /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture while executing "load /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib" ("package ifneeded" script) invoked from within "package require Pextlib 1.0" (procedure "mportinit" line 382) invoked from within "mportinit ui_options global_options global_variations" Error: ./port: Failed to initialize MacPorts, couldn't load file "/opt/ local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib": dlopen(/opt/local/ share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib, 10): no suitable image found.

We need to move our servers to a new rack. This will require shutting everything down (SVN, Trac, www.macports.org, RSync, etc) for about an hour this Wednesday night (the 12th). Everything should be back around 7pm. Sorry for the inconvenience. -Bill ---- William Siegrist Software Support Engineer Mac OS Forge http://macosforge.org/ wsiegrist(a)apple.com 408 862 7337
