Thanks for the help, your explanation made it easy to get all the proper components installed to get macports working properly. The scite install is still having problems, but I'll get to that after I take care of one of your questions. On Sat, Mar 15, 2008 at 3:39 AM, Ryan Schmidt <ryandesign@macports.org> wrote:
May I ask what led you to www.d*****ports.com in the first place? I
understand that unfortunately it scores a rather higher PageRank
in Google... I wish it were not so, and I would like to know how to
change that.
I don't remember my exact search terms it has something like scite and mac os X and maybe even darwin in one of the searches but after I read your response I even tried macports scite and the d*****ports.com page entry came up as the first one. We have a group of folks at work who do search engine optimization I'll ask them for some advice. If I get any, I'll pass it on.
To upgrade from DarwinPorts to MacPorts, or MacPorts to any future version, run "sudo port selfupdate". Sounds like you already did this so you should already have MacPorts 1.6.0.
I used the macports 1.6 dmg file to install over the top of what I had before. I know you said I didn't have to, but the idea of a rogue site made me a little nervous.
You seem to have part but not all of X11 installed. You need both the X11 User package from the Mac OS X DVD (which accounts for X11.app in your Utilities folder) and the X11 SDK package from Xcode (which is the part that lets you build other software for X11). Install X11 User first (you probably already have it), then install the latest Xcode for your OS, and make sure to tell it to install the X11 SDK as well.
All is well with x11. once I was using the installation instructions from the macports site, fixing the issue was relatively easy. To install any port foo, just run "sudo port install foo". That's all
you need to do. You don't need to be in any particular directory. But you may want to first see if there are any variants that you would like to select. Run "port info foo" and "port variants foo".
Yes, you need to add /opt/local/bin and /opt/local/sbin to your PATH. That is, the MacPorts installer should do so for you. Versions prior to 1.6.0 did so for you. 1.6.0 has a bug where it does not do so for you and you must do it manually. This will be fixed in the next version.
One of the installs put a .profile in my home directory once I sourced that from .bash_profile everything worked fine. If you have any other questions please let us know. Welcome to MacPorts! The scite install is still giving me problems. Here is the output from my terminal session including every thing I did per the instructions to try to resolve the issue.
