Darwinports.com is a parasite on the MacPorts project. It is someone attempting to make a cheap buck off of other people's work, and is, as you discovered, not reliable.
Is that right? What a dick! I've been confused by this too. I presumed that the information there was reliable. malcolm

Hmmm... I found the doc here <<http://ppl.darwinports.com/>>. I 'thought' that macports is simply the latest darwinports - is that not correct? (I did mention that I am a newbie, yes?).
Should I try to install it with 24245, or should I wait until it is resolved?
Bug submitted.
In any case, thanks for your work on this project and your quick reply.
Cheers, Dan

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
I don't know what all this is. MacPorts does not use a directory called "portslocation" and you do not need to be in any particular directory in order to install a port. Did some documentation lead you to the above? If so, please point it out so that we can correct it.
$ 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
I just tried "sudo port install gmp-cxx-wrappers" and also got the error you reported. I'm on a rev 2 MacBook Pro with 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo and OS X 10.4.9.
$ sudo port install gmp-cxx-wrappers Password: ---> Fetching gmp-cxx-wrappers ---> Attempting to fetch gmp-4.2.1.tar.bz2 from http:// ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gmp ---> Verifying checksum(s) for gmp-cxx-wrappers ---> Extracting gmp-cxx-wrappers ---> Configuring gmp-cxx-wrappers Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: can't read "configure.cflags": no such variable Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
Revision 24246 seems to have caused this. If I undo that revision, the port builds (though I don't know if it works).
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/24246
You should submit a bug in our Trac system. I do not know if this is a bug in the portfile or a bug in base.
Another problem with this portfile is that it downloads gmp-4.2.1.tar.bz2 again into /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/gmp- cxx-wrappers although it already exists in /opt/local/var/macports/ distfiles/gmp. That should be corrected as well. It should use the existing distfile in the gmp directory.
