I am running a huge rebuild of my installed ports (evidently a lot of stuff depends on dbus-glib) and I keep getting an error (pops in the FInder/Aqua) that python has crashed. I'm not running python so I assume it's part of the rebuilding (though I know MacPorts uses tcl).
If you tried "sudo port upgrade -R dbus", you may have run out of memory at some point (see my previous post). That tends to corrupt running machine state. Try rebooting. (It worked for me, when things like Firefox and Dashboard widgets started dying.) Oh, on that note -- is there a sensible way to avoid having anything other than the actual package installation step run as root? If I had any sense I would have asked that before the first time I typed "port install". Cheers, - Michael
