Hi
I have a Leopard and until some time ago, port worked fine. At the moment, I have a problem with activation. I mean, any package compiles correctly, installs on destroot, and everything, but the 'activating' line appears, and no more information is given. It just freezes. <snip> Any hint on what might be happening?
I would suggest using the -d flag for port (ie, sudo port -d install foo) this will give debug information that will be helpful in seeing exactly where the error is occurring.
PS: Also, why 'man' does not find the 'port' manpage? I think this worked correctly on my old Tiger.... :-S
Check your $MANPATH variable at the command prompt 'echo $MANPATH' and see what it lists. I know some time back I had to add /opt/local/man to $MANPATH in my .bashrc file (add a line that says 'export MANPATH=/opt/local/man:$MANPATH' without the quotes) so that it would be able to find the man page for port along with all the files that are installed via macports.
