I'm just constantly amazed at the complexity of MacPorts (not always in a good way).
*sigh*... Here's one example:
% sudo port uninstall py25-matplotlib ---> Deactivating py25-matplotlib 0.91.2_0+tkinter ---> Uninstalling py25-matplotlib 0.91.2_0+tkinter % sudo port install py25-matplotlib +gtk ---> Fetching py25-matplotlib ---> Verifying checksum(s) for py25-matplotlib ---> Extracting py25-matplotlib ---> Applying patches to py25-matplotlib ---> Configuring py25-matplotlib ---> Building py25-matplotlib with target build ---> Staging py25-matplotlib into destroot ---> Installing py25-matplotlib 0.91.2_0+tkinter ---> Activating py25-matplotlib 0.91.2_0+tkinter ---> Cleaning py25-matplotlib
I asked for the gtk variant. Why was the tkinter variant installed?
There is no gtk variant (there is a gtk2 one, which may be what you wanted). That port is setup to automatically add +tkinter if a conflicting variant isn't set. -- Daniel J.
