After I install the package, I do "sudo port selfupdate" but get the following message:
$ port install Pextlib can't find package Pextlib 1.0 while executing
<snip>
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize ports system, can't find package Pextlib 1.0
Anything I missed on the way ?
I have seen several people report that. I do not understand it. There is this bug report: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/10682 Does anything in that ticket help you?
I'm currently downloading XCode 2.4.1 (close to 1gb...) I'll report when I'm done.
I've installed XCode 2.4.1, reboot, re-downloaded MacPorts 1.3.1 for OSX 10.4, installed seemingly successfully but a "sudo port selfupdate" still produces the same error. Besides, I've tried the "./configure" command for the tar package and I still get a "tcl has been compiled with the nothread option" error message that aborts the configuration. So I am left with no way whatsoever to run macports... JC
