so do i need to uninstall the macport and reinstall it? I do not understand one thing as the last time it was working on my system and I installed various packages! Please let me know if there is a way of saving the packages I installed through macports before I delete it from my system? On Nov 25, 2007 6:21 PM, paul beard <paulbeard@gmail.com> wrote:

Dear List, It has been long since I installed macports on my mac osx 10.4. I used the ports to install many packages but then I went on to do some other things and did not use ports for a while. Last week, when I tried to intialize the port, it did not work! When I go to and X11 terminal and type port , it gives me the following error message
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize ports system, no suitable image found. Did find: /opt/local/share/darwinports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture
sounds like you have an Intel system with a PPC code base installed. the problem isn't in your PATH, as it find port correctly, but can't run it.
