I checked for dbus. It's invoked on my command line to start GNOME. So a ran a search and an install and got this trace: port search dbus dbus devel/dbus 1.0.2 A message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to one another. dbus-glib devel/dbus-glib 0.73 Glib bindings for the dbus message bus system. IBook:~ bj$ sudo port install dbus ---> Activating dbus 1.0.2_2 Error: Target com.apple.activate returned: Image error: Another version of dbus (0.61_2) is already active. Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. If I uninstall the older version what flaky behaviour can I expect trying to install the new one? Bj Ryan Schmidt wrote:

So you're trying to install dbus-glib, and it can't find the dbus libraries. I imagine this would be fixed by installing the dbus port first. Please try that and let us know if that fixes it. Then we can add that as a dependency to the dbus-glib port so that this situation is handled automatically in the future.
Um... Sorry, I see that dbus-glib already declares dbus as a dependency.
So is dbus installed?
