Does this mean it pints to itself?
No, if it pointed to itself it would say "/opt/local/lib/libgtk- x11-2.0.dylib -> libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib"
Are you sure there's nothing after the -> ? Nothing continued on the second line for example? I've never seen a symlink that pointed to nothing. I don't even know how to create such a thing.
and the second
joshuamacfie$ port provides /opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib /opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib is a directory.
Does not give me a port name just says its a directory.
That's peculiar.
Courtesy of my system: [sauvagine%] ls -l /opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 30 Jul 5 13:16 /opt/local/lib/libgtk- x11-2.0.dylib@ -> libgtk-x11-2.0.0.1000.13.dylib [sauvagine%] port provides /opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib /opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib is provided by: gtk2 A symbolic link could be created to whitespace, although the fact that the file is reported as having 0 size would indicate to me that the file really is pointing to an empty string.
