Your /opt folder probably got copied and then something died because your processor architecture had changed. On 17 Mar 2007, at 09:22, Elise van Looij wrote:
After struggling for a few days and getting nowhere, I decided to make a fresh start. When I got my MacBook I took advantage of a very handy OSX feature, namely the offer to hook it up via firewire to my old iBook and have everything automatically copied. This worked great, within three hours all my user info, documents, programs, bookmarks etc. had been transferred to the new laptop and I could practically continue where I left off, except for my MAMP installation. I don't know whether it was the copying process itself or my decision to install MacPorts all over again, but anyway everything I did seemed to result in error messages noone else was getting. Fed up with everything I located the /opt folder (it was not visible in te Finder until I used Spotlight to find it) and threw the whole shebang in the wastebasked, restarted the machine, made sure personal webserver was shut down in System Preference, and reinstalled MacPorts, Apache, MySQL, Subversion and PHP. This time everything went off without a single error message. I'm not up and running yet (for some reason the httpd.conf is not yet configured right), but at least this whole libxml2 nonsense is over.
