I am new to Darwin Ports. I want to get this working because I need to use imapsync. I am migrating from Exchange server to OS X Server.

I have set up a test server and installed Darwin Ports. That all seemed to go fine.

Then I attempted to install imapsync using

sudo port install imapsync

Everything seemed to be going fine until it got to p5-net-ssleay

It has been sitting like this all night (about 10 hours now):

sudo port install imapsync ---> Fetching p5-net-ssleay ---> Attempting to fetch Net_SSLeay.pm-1.30.tar.gz from http://ftp.ucr.ac.cr/Unix/CPAN/modules/by-module/Net ---> Verifying checksum(s) for p5-net-ssleay ---> Extracting p5-net-ssleay ---> Applying patches to p5-net-ssleay ---> Configuring p5-net-ssleay

After my initial attempt, I removed perl5.8 and its dependents and started again.

10 hours seems like an awfully long time. The processor cores in my Mac pro are going at 100% one after other typical of a non-MP aware application.

Is this normal, or are we stuck in some kind of a loop here?

Any advice accepted gratefully.

It just installed for me ok. Use -vd for debug output and see what it is hanging on. First clean it. sudo port -vd clean --all p5-net-ssleay sudo port -vd install p5-net-ssleay Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for that advice.

I am getting an error:

I could not find your OpenSSL in `' Please provide OpenSSL-0.9.6j or OpenSSL-0.9.7b installation directory (get from http://www.openssl.org/ if you don't have it; please note that SSLeay is no longer supported, see README) (C-c to abort):

Hmm guess I'll check that out. Do you know if I need the specific versions mentioned, as the site www.openssl.org has ver 0.9.8e available.

Thanks again,

Likkie.

OK I have installed Fink and then used that to install OpenSSL 0.9.6m. I am still getting the same error when I attempt to install imapsync. I could not find your OpenSSL in `' Please provide OpenSSL-0.9.6j or OpenSSL-0.9.7b installation directory (get from http://www.openssl.org/ if you don't have it; please note that SSLeay is no longer supported, see README) (C-c to abort): The openssl executable in /sw/bin which the first direcotry in the path since fink installed. Obviously I need to specify its location n =soem other way, but I don't know how to do that. Grateful for any advice. Cheers, Likkie.

I had no problems installing imapsync with MP openssl 0.9.8e. Do you have MP openssl installed? imapsync should have an openssl as a dependency but it looks like it doesn't. Just try installing the plain openssl port and see if it makes imapsync happy. We can add the dependencu if that is th problem. There is also a port openssl97, which has 0.9.7m so you don't need Fink's openssl in any case and imapsync may not be able to find it anyway. Mark

Is there a compelling reason to use both fink and MacPorts? I have 0.9.8e with MacPorts.

When you say you "removed perl" how did you do that? with port uninstall or rm?

Hi Paul, I have successfully installed imapsync now, see previous message to Mark. Thankyou for responding. Cheers, Likkie.

Also think the error message for a serious problem like a required module being missing such as this should generate an error. Personally I don't think I should have turn on "verbose" to see a critical error like that.

I'm firmly of the opinion that this is really a problem that the upstream maintainer should address, because package systems intend for installations to be completely automated, hiding output that the ordinary user doesn't need, and to quit with information about errors if one occurs so that work can be done to fix it and make it automatic again. This is exactly what MacPorts, and every other package system that I know of, does. As you say, the user shouldn't be forced to run the package system in a verbose or debug mode to get error messages, but the point is that, to do so in this case, the package system would be forced to _guess_ that there is an error of waiting for user input, and I don't know of any way in which this can be done with neither false positives nor negatives. Instead, the package itself should say that there's an error and stop. Someone installing it themselves might want to have user interaction, of course, but that shouldn't be the only way to do it.
