hello, I dont't know if ryan is here. I have some informations concerning the installation of popt: here a brief summary of the thing: I try to install gnome, but I can't install one of its dependencies, popt. With or without macports, it aborts: ---> Configuring popt Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_popt/work/popt-1.11" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --mandir=/opt/local/share/man --with-libintl-prefix=/opt/local --with-libiconv-prefix=/opt/local " returned error 1 Command output: configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub but when I try to uninstall popt, I've got: mach4:~ oliviersaint-eve$ port uninstall popt Error: port uninstall failed: Registry error: popt not registered as installed. mach4:~ oliviersaint-eve$ port uninstall -f popt Error: port uninstall failed: Registry error: popt not registered as installed. it's amazing : macports does not tell me that popt is not installed(it does not appear after "port installed"). do you know a way to erase popt, in the purpose of reinstalling it? thank you, lolveley.
