My port system seems to be genuinely corrupt on all levels. Is there any simple way to remove ALL ports, including port itself, and do it all over?
Unless you've been manually installing things into /opt:
Yes, I have some other stuff on /opt/local. I thought this was the MacOSX (and Linux?) standard for non-system add-ons, and not dedicated to macports only. Whenever I have installed opensource I have directed it to /opt/ local rather than /usr/local.
/opt/local should be considered to be dedicated to MacPorts. MacPorts assumes it has complete control of this directory and its contents. When I manually compile software for Mac OS X, I put it in /usr/local. (I know of no reason not to do so.)
Thanks for clarifying this. I will adhere to the rules from now on.
