I am running OS X 10.5.2 on an iMacG5 pentium machine. I just downloaded MacPorts-1.6.0.pkg and tried to install it several times, but it always hangs up with the progress indicator about 3/4 of the way through, and never finishes.
The Installer.app provides a log (Window -> Installer Log), what does it say there?
I downloaded the MacPorts-1.6.0.pkg again, and this time it installed after several minutes.
After the installer finished I tried :
$ sudo port -v selfupdate Password: Synchronizing local ports tree from rsync://rsync.macports.org/ release/ ports/
but here the terminal hangs up. (it hasn't done anything for about 10 minutes)
Does your network allow traffic on the rsync port?
I've never had a problem with rsync before. I haven't changed anything on the firewall for a while. I began running into a number of other problems that forced me to force quit applications like Xcode, and others, that continuously became non-responsive. I may be wrong, but I suspect that upgrading Leopard directly over Tiger may be the cause of some of these problems. Yesterday I completely re-formatted my primary drive, did a clean install of Leopard, and spent several hours downloading and installing the very latest versions of each application and 3rd party utility I own. After I read your comments on Darwin 8 vs. Darwin 9, I thought the smartest thing would be to re-format the drive and install everything from scratch, not just MacPorts. Today I will try to do a clean install of MacPorts, and see how that goes. Bill Hernandez ms@mac-specialist.com
