In attempting to install MacPorts, I've run into a little problem.
Since I already have Fink on my system, the latest 10.4 developer tools and X11 had been installed earlier. I downloaded and installed the MacPorts binary, and then using pico, opened and edited the ~./profile and it now looks like this:
# Your previous .profile (if any) is saved as .profile.dpsaved # Setting the path for DarwinPorts. export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH export DISPLAY=:O.O
However, when I run the env command, I get this:
PATH=/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin SECURITYSESSIONID=51d020 HOME=/Users/jamescoy SHELL=/bin/tcsh USER=jamescoy __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING=0x1F5:0:0 TERM_PROGRAM=Apple_Terminal TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION=133 TERM=xterm-color LOGNAME=jamescoy HOSTTYPE=powermac VENDOR=apple OSTYPE=darwin MACHTYPE=powerpc SHLVL=1 PWD=/Users/jamescoy GROUP=staff HOST=James-Coyles-iBook.local MANPATH=/sw/share/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/sw/lib/ perl5/5.8.6/man:/sw/lib/perl5-core/5.8.1/man:/sw/lib/perl5/5.8.1/man INFOPATH=/sw/share/info:/sw/info:/usr/share/info PERL5LIB=/sw/lib/perl5:/sw/lib/perl5/darwin XML_CATALOG_FILES=/sw/etc/xml/catalog SGML_CATALOG_FILES=/sw/etc/sgml/catalog
As you can see, the PATH does not display as per the instructions. Is that because of Fink being on my system or.....what's the deal? Thanks!
I ran into similar problems without Fink being installed. I found that I had to change the file name to ~./.bash_profile to get consistent results. Also, as I tend to use an X Terminal instead of the Apple Terminal, I discovered that I needed to add the "-ls" switch to the ~./.xinitrc file and the X11 Terminal application.
