Dear Macports users, I am having difficulty installing Macports and the PPL library via Macports. I initially intstalled Macports (and updated to 1.5.0), but the /opt/local/bin/portslocation/ folder is not there. I thus made the folders myself and went ahead (note also that I previously tried to install it in /bin/, which also failed with same error, and I then removed and reinstalled Macports): $ cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/ppl $ sudo port install ppl Macports successfully installed gmp and glpk but failed on configuring gmp-cxx-wrappers (see log below). So, am I just missing something as a newbie? Or is there some other problem here? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am using a macbook pro 2.2GHz Core 2 with os x 10.4.10 Thanks!!
