As one of the former fink users, I'll be happy to see your FAQ additions. I tried to install MacPorts before I blew away /sw and edited .profile. Since then, I've un-installed and re-installed MacPorts a couple of times with the same result (appended below). Help would be appreciated.

Once you've removed the fink stuff from your .profile, as you have, I would think this problem must be unrelated to a former Fink install. Do you have a manual install of Tcl/tk? http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/10682 Mark Mark
In time order (April 15, 2006), the contents of Library/Receipts (as seen through Finder) include a directory for DarwinPorts 1.2.1, several related Tcl directories, and an R directory (www.r- project.org). At the time, I was building cross-platform Tcl interfaces to statistical procedures that I wrote in R. It's not an Active State Tcl but I don't know if the tcl.sourceforge.net references really mean anything or not. My Unix and Tcl skills are little more than rote copying. Help on uninstalling DarwinPorts and reverting Tcl would be appreciated. Chuck On May 6, 2007, at 1:11 AM, markd@macports.org wrote:

Instructions for uninstalling DarwinPorts (now called MacPorts) are in the FAQ: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/ FAQ#HowdoIremoveoruninstallMacPorts
