Ports requiring X11 on Leopard
by Michael Franz 30 Mar '08

30 Mar '08

Hi, I have recently started using Leopard and have found that ports that require X11 cannot find the necessary libraries. This is frustrating as they worked fine on Tiger. I was able to solve my problems by adding configure.pkg_config_path ${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig:${x11prefix}/lib/pkgconfig the Portfile . Why is this not necessary on Tiger? I don't remember configuring anything special when I set up Tiger. Also, which is better to use: lib:libX11:XFree86 or port:xorg-libX11 ? Michael

rarian and scrollkeeper
by Randall Wood 30 Mar '08

30 Mar '08

Does the rarian port completely obsolete scrollkeeper or does it merely conflict with scrollkeeper? I'm getting the following message and am wondering if I can simply uninstall scrollkeeper and replace all dependencies on it with a dependency on rarian? ---> Activating rarian 0.8.0_0 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/bin/scrollkeeper-config is being used by the active scrollkeeper port. Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation. Error: The following dependencies failed to build: rarian I know that rarian is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for scrollkeeper. but is it really? -- Randall Wood randall.h.wood(a)alexandriasoftware.com "The rules are simple: The ball is round.

Questions About memcached
by Nathan Brazil 29 Mar '08

29 Mar '08

Hi. According to this page, memcached needs to be patched on Tiger and Panther in order to perform. Do you know if the patch linked on the aforementioned page is included in its port? Also, do you know if the kqueue issue (same page) has been fixed in Leopard? Thanks!

ntop ticket 14308
by Shawn Protsman 29 Mar '08

29 Mar '08

This is in reference to http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14308 and hopefully helps the macport get fixed. Though the macport fails to build, the source can be built just fine: 1 - Download ntop 3.3 source 2 - Run autogen.sh 3 - ./configure --with-gdbm-lib=/opt/local/lib --with-gdbm-include=/ opt/local/include 4 - make; sudo make install 5 - run it and then log in to http://localhost:3000 Everything works just fine. --Shawn

Bad install?
by Maury Markowitz 29 Mar '08

29 Mar '08

I used the Leopard installer, but port doesn't work after installation (tried twice). Typing port into the command line doesn't work, and there's no .profile in my home dir either. Any advice? Maury

.profile not installed; 'ports' command not found
by James E Keenan 29 Mar '08

29 Mar '08

Today I attempted to install Macports on an iBook G4 running MAC OS X 10.4 (Tiger). I followed the instructions at http:// guide.macports.org/#installing. I met the prerequisites: X11, Xcode Tools. I downloaded the installer for MacPorts-1.6.0-10.4- Tiger.dmg and double-clicked for a default installation. The installer proceeded normally, including running the installation script, and concluded by stating that the software had been installed. I then went to the section in the docs concerning MacPorts and the shell (http://guide.macports.org/#installing.shell) Checking my home directory, I noted that no .profile file had been created there. Furthermore, when, following the guide, I called 'sudo port selfupdate', I was told, "sudo: port: command not found". I repeated all of the above, with no better results. Can anyone diagnose? Thanks in advance.Jim Keenan
