i have a iMac G5 17" PPC. I am trying to install readline, but i get these errors :

However on my intel macbook it worked fine. But i cant get it to work on my PPC. Both Computers have Mac OS Tiger 10.4.10 Installed.
How odd. I don't know what it's talking about.
Can you try "sudo port clean readline" and then "sudo port -dv install readline" and see what it says?
thanks for your answer. It goes good until this point. Then this happens : [snip] DEBUG: Executing proc-post-org.macports.destroot-destroot-0 DEBUG: delete: /opt/local/var/macports/build/ _opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel _readline/work/destroot/opt/local/share/info/dir Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: no such file or directory Warning: the following items did not execute (for readline): org.macports.activate org.macports.destroot org.macports.install Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
Don't forget to Reply To All so your reply goes to the mailing list too, not just to me. It looks like this line in the post-destroot proc may be triggering the problem: delete ${destroot}${prefix}/share/info/dir You could try removing that line from the portfile to see if that really is the culprit. If it is, then the question would be, why does this not cause a problem on your Intel Mac or my Intel Mac? I guess on your PPC iMac share/info/dir never gets created in the first place, and therefore is not there to be deleted. But why? And is there a way to write a delete command that doesn't complain if it fails? What's the difference between "delete" and "file delete"? (You could try "file delete" instead of "delete" at the beginning of the line and see if that makes a difference.)
