__THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___YOU_MUST_EXEC__()
by Frank Schima 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

Hi all, Another thread mentioned pydoc, so I decided to look at it and ran 'pydoc modules'. Although it ran, it first returned a very strange error (a number of times): The process has forked and you cannot use this CoreFoundation functionality safely. You MUST exec(). Break on __THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___YOU_MUST_EXEC__ () to debug. I've seen this before when I run tkinter based python apps. But everything seems to work just fine. What is causing this error? Is it a problem? Can it be removed/fixed somehow? Thanks! Frank Schima NIST Boulder, CO schimaf(a)boulder.nist.gov

Uninstalling ports & meaning of install variants
by istojic＠gmail.com 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

Hello all, Forgive me for my ignorance, but I seem to have misunderstood how macports works. My first question is how to uninstall a port once installed. I ran port uninstall on several ports, but it seems that all of the related files and directories were left behind. Secondly, when performing an install and including variants (i.e. port install php5 +mysql5 +apache2), macports seems to install full versions of the variants, as opposed to just including the necessary modifications to php.ini. Am I interpreting this correctly? Thanks in advance, -ilija

Is py25-numpy corrupted?
by David Rowe 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

I am trying to install some ports (probably Gramps) that seem to require py25-numpy - this is not currently installed in my copy of MacPorts. On trying to install p25-numpy, I get the following log: <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< bash-3.2# port install py25-numpy ---> Fetching py25-numpy ---> Verifying checksum(s) for py25-numpy Error: Checksum (md5) mismatch for numpy-1.0.4.tar.gz Error: Checksum (sha1) mismatch for numpy-1.0.4.tar.gz Error: Checksum (rmd160) mismatch for numpy-1.0.4.tar.gz Error: Target org.macports.checksum returned: Unable to verify file checksums Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This looks as if one of the files is corrupted on the MacPorts server or else the portfile is not consistent with the downloaded files. Has anyone else experienced this before? Is there a workround? Thanks for any help you can provide David Rowe

Fwd: [pymetar-dev] man py-metar

So "pydoc pymetar" should give you a manpage-like description of pymetars API (it's a library, so that's its primary documentation). In case you don't have pydoc, the package comes with a file called librarydoc.txt which is identical in content. As for a more general description, there's also a README. Where those files typically end up in the macports package system, I don't know. > $ uname -a > Darwin Mac.local 8.11.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.11.0: Wed Oct 10 > 18:26:00 PDT 2007; root:xnu-792.24.17~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh > powerpc > $ metar > -bash: metar: command not found > $ py-metar > -bash: py-metar: command not found Pymetar comes with two example scripts, called pymet and weather.py. Both are examples only but might be enough for what you need. Unfortunately, I don't know where macports packages usually put the auxillary files for installed packages. The packager might also have removed the examples, though I doubt it. Maybe someone else on the -dev list can shed a light on this?

Re: failed hellanzb

After some cursory research about this problem, I discovered one posted solution about first installing python25. It seems to work, although I have no idea why python24 would be having such difficulty.

trying to get darcs working/where should I try out a new portfile?
by Stephen Bannasch 23 Mar '08

23 Mar '08

Ticket 14576 describes a problem installing darcs. http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14576 The original ticket described the problem happening on MacOS 10.4.11. I've also confirmed the same problem on MacOS 10.5.2 in comment #5. The error happens at this stage: ---> Configuring darcs and reports: configure: error: Couldnt figure out how to call GHC.Handle.openFd! There is a comment pointing to ticket 14634: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14634 where waterson(a)maubi.net has a proposed Portfile for darcs-2.0.0pre3 attached here: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/attachment/ticket/14634/Portfi… Where should I put this Portfile on my system if I'd like to try it out? I skimmed the documentation and didn't see an answer. Previously when someone has posted a patch I've just applied it to my existing local portfile. Should I create a local ports repository just for this portfile? I would also be great to get the cc: capability added to the Trac Ticket form. That would make it easier to follow progress on these two tickets.

Info about port variants
by Kendall Shaw 22 Mar '08

22 Mar '08

I think it would be nice if there was more than a token describing port variants. For example, when I see the "server" variant of mysql5, I don't know if that means some sort of bare-bones version, or if it means that it's configured to start automatically. I gather it's the later, but it would be nice to have it stated explicitly what it does.
