My darwin/mac/ports installation is totally b0rked - unclear what the triggering event was. It'd been a couple weeks since I last used the port command when, a day after receiving the very recent round of osx security updates, I attempted to install apache2. This is what I saw- $ sudo port list can't find package Pextlib 1.0 while executing "package_native require Pextlib 1.0" ("eval" body line 1) invoked from within "eval package_native $args" (procedure "package" line 14) invoked from within "package require Pextlib 1.0" (procedure "dportinit" line 311) invoked from within "dportinit ui_options global_options global_variations" Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize ports system, can't find package Pextlib 1.0 I believe this was version 1.3 (going by ./base/dp_version.) So I tried upgrading to 1.3.2, the latest. Following successful build, I got the following response to 'make test'-- . . . ===> making test in src/pextlib1.0 /usr/bin/tclsh tests/curl.tcl Pextlib.dylib no suitable image found. Did find: /Users/exeteremeritus/packages/dp/DarwinPorts-1.3.2/src/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture while executing "load $pextlibname" (procedure "main" line 2) invoked from within "main $argv" (file "tests/curl.tcl" line 54) make[2]: *** [test] Error 1 make[1]: *** [test] Error 1 make: *** [test] Error 1 The file it "did find" appears to have been built along with all the others. Here's my ./configure line: ./configure --build=i686-apple-darwin8.8.1 --target=i686-apple-darwin8.8.1 FWIW, I also tried "ppc-apple-darwin8.8.1" and "powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.1" - both built, both had the same problem. Googling around, I see others have had this problem, but no clear solution in hand. Any ideas? Cheers, Kevin P
