I tried looking through the mailing list archives and didn't see my big issue covered. Basically I've installed version 1.320 and get the following error when I try to run the selfupdate:
Marshall-Rodriquezs-Computer:/opt/local/bin marshallrodriquez$ sudo ./port selfupdate DarwinPorts base version 1.320 installed Error: ./port: selfupdate failed: couldn't open "/opt/local/var/db/ dports/sources/rsync.rsync.macports.org _dpupdate1/base/config/ dp_version": no such file or directory
I checked and the folder is there, though there is a space in it which seems to be the disconnect. Is that supposed to be there?
Where is there a space? The path "/opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/ rsync.rsync.macports.org_dpupdate1/base/config/dp_version" should exist without any spaces in it. (My email program will probably insert some into this message, but there shouldn't be any.)
I also checked the .profile file and the recommended paths are in there, but I still have to navigate to the /opt/local/bin directory to even run the command. I should also mention that I have to use the ./ to run the command, which makes me wonder if something is set up wrong since the documentations says it should work without it. I have tried setting up the older versions of DarwinPorts before I tracked down where the current source was, if that might give any indication. If someone has had this issue or know where I could read up on it, any help will be appreciated. Thank you
I don't know about .profile; I use the file ~/.bash_profile and it works fine. I include a line like this: export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin: $PATH
