Hi Jeff,
I just installed macports for the first time and am having some difficulty getting started. What I've done so far: 1. ran installer (apparently successfully) 2. ran dhcp148:~ admin$ sudo port selfupdate
and got: no suitable image found. Did find: /opt/local/share/darwinports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture
That error means that the Pextlib.dylib found is a version that only works on one of Intel and PowerPC, and your machine is the other one. That's odd, because the version of Pextlib.dylib that comes in the binary installer on the disk image (which is what I assume you used) is a Universal binary (i.e. the shared libraries and executables are built to work on both Intel and PowerPC). My guess is that you've somehow run one of those programs that "thins" such "fat" binaries to one architecture and it's removed the wrong one. Whatever the reason, however, you should be able to just download the disk image again (just to be sure) and run the installer, overwriting what's currently there. If it won't do it, I believe that downloading and running AppDelete before reinstalling will pick up the package receipt from the first installation and clean it out properly (I haven't used it much, but it seems to have a good reputation). If you need any more help, just drop us a line. Kind regards, Maun Suang -- Boey Maun Suang (Boey is my surname) Email: boeyms at macports dot org
