Now, I tried installing python 2.5 independently with a package, that seemed to work fine, but I still get the same error (I was hoping it would detect the installed dependency and move on, but alas, it does not).
Any help overcoming this setback would be greatly appreciated, because I'm running out of ideas right now.
You are presumably on a 64-bit PowerPC machine, as in a G5? What version of Mac OS X, Xcode and MacPorts are you using?
Actually, I'm on an Intel mac. Sorry, should have mentioned that from the start. Intel Mac, OS X 10.4 Using the latest version of macports.
After running into this problem, I tried installing the universal macpython 2.5.1 with the .mpkg, ran port install again, same problem.
MacPorts is designed to use its own software only, not any software you've installed manually outside of MacPorts. There are some carefully-chosed exceptions, but I don't think python is one of them.
So if you're not on a 64-bit PowerPC machine, I wonder why it's complaining that something is not a valid ppc64 mach-o file. Are any of your ports compiled universally? (Did you say "sudo port install foo +universal" for any foo?)
The only +universal I used was on python25 itself after the GIMP install first started giving me that error, and I think it resulted in the same error again. That's when I gave the "maybe it checks for dependencies independently of installing them" chance a try with the .mpkg, and as you said, that was futile.
It looks like this has been reported in our issue tracker already:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/12887
I don't see a solution there yet.
But, in this prior thread:
http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-October/ 006062.html
The issue was that someone was using Xcode 2.2 and upgrading to 2.4.1 fixed it. Again, what version of Xcode do you have?
Ah-AH! I see a light at the end of this tunnel! I'm using 2.2, I'll upgrade and let you know how it goes...
