Re: failed to build ports ocaml, xfig

Thanks a lot for you help so far. Unfortunately, the commands you give seem not work for me. Possibly, I have overlooked something.

It's me who I overlooked two things actually. The first one is that all the commands I mentioned shoudl be given as root. So you are correct in putting the sudos in front.

First, a question: if I do

sudo port -v extract xfig

I get no message or whatsoever, just a new prompt; is that OK?

That's probably the second thing I forgot to mention, you need to uninstall and clean the xfig first, and thisis probably the reason that the above command does nothing. So try a sudo port uninstall xfig sudo port clean xfig I hope it works now. Stefan
