Hi, I'm trying to "port install cheetah", but keep getting "Checksum (md5) mismatch for cheetah-1.7.tar.gz". I've tried a selfupdate, and then run "port clean cheetah", but no joy. Is there any way I can fix, or work around this error please? Thanks, Simon

I filed a ticket for you. In the future please file tickets yourself. http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14821

A while ago I wandered fruitlessly around that bug tracker for about 30 minutes, and couldn't get registered, or couldn't get registered properly, or something, so I gave up. Maybe I'm an idiot (entirely possible), or maybe someone should look to make it easier to submit tickets? S

Sorry to hear you had difficulty registering in the issue tracker. If you describe your difficulty in more detail maybe we can help solve it.

Sure... I clicked on the register link top right, and got to a screen titled "Wordpress > Registration Form" with the subheading "Register for this blog", which seemed a little odd as I was registering for a bug tracker not a blog (although there was a MacOSForge logo, which was slightly reassuring). I entered my email address and chose a nickname. An email arrived bearing my password. I revisited the bug tracker and attempted to log in to the provided HTTP Basic Authentication dialog with my nickname, simonwheatley, and the password provided. It didn't work. I gave up. I've just replicated this by registering with the nickname simonw. Hope this helps. S

Hmm...did perform either of the confirmation steps as specified in the 'password' emails you received from mac ports? Cheers, Chris

As far as I know, you are supposed to login in with your email address. Rainer

The 'password' email I received from mac ports contained the following text (no confirmation step that I could see). S

Whups - it was the confirm email for this list at which I was looking. Sorry about the confusion. On 3/27/08 10:56 AM, "Simon Wheatley" <lists@simonwheatley.co.uk> wrote:

Thanks Rainer, this got me one step further in. "Register" (top right) has now become "My Account", "Login" has become "Logout". I clicked on My Account, and Firefox v2.0.0.13 alerted me to an unverified certificate [1] which I accepted temporarily for the session. This took me into a Wordpress user profile editing screen, so I changed my password to something more convenient. Logging in and out still worked with the changed password. However I can't create a new ticket (I'm clicking on the ladybird/bug)... Apparently:
You need to be logged in to do that. If you are already logged in, then you dont have permission. Sorry. I appear to be logged in, but not to have permissions to create a new ticket. Hope this helps.

Watch the URL. I ran into this multiple times, too. Some sites redirect you to 'trac.macosforge.org', even if you logged in at 'trac.macports.org'. You might not be logged in at the other domain? Bill (our server admin) already said earlier this will change. Rainer

I think that may have been it, Rainer, thank you for your help. Best regards, Simon
