Dear Macports users, I am having difficulty installing Macports and the PPL library via Macports. I initially intstalled Macports (and updated to 1.5.0), but the /opt/local/bin/portslocation/ folder is not there. I thus made the folders myself and went ahead (note also that I previously tried to install it in /bin/, which also failed with same error, and I then removed and reinstalled Macports): $ cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/ppl $ sudo port install ppl Macports successfully installed gmp and glpk but failed on configuring gmp-cxx-wrappers (see log below). So, am I just missing something as a newbie? Or is there some other problem here? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am using a macbook pro 2.2GHz Core 2 with os x 10.4.10 Thanks!!

I don't know what all this is. MacPorts does not use a directory called "portslocation" and you do not need to be in any particular directory in order to install a port. Did some documentation lead you to the above? If so, please point it out so that we can correct it.
$ sudo port install ppl
Macports successfully installed gmp and glpk but failed on configuring gmp-cxx-wrappers (see log below).

I am using a macbook pro 2.2GHz Core 2 with os x 10.4.10
I just tried "sudo port install gmp-cxx-wrappers" and also got the error you reported. I'm on a rev 2 MacBook Pro with 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo and OS X 10.4.9. $ sudo port install gmp-cxx-wrappers Password: ---> Fetching gmp-cxx-wrappers ---> Attempting to fetch gmp-4.2.1.tar.bz2 from http://ftp.gnu.org/ gnu/gmp ---> Verifying checksum(s) for gmp-cxx-wrappers ---> Extracting gmp-cxx-wrappers ---> Configuring gmp-cxx-wrappers Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: can't read "configure.cflags": no such variable Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. Revision 24246 seems to have caused this. If I undo that revision, the port builds (though I don't know if it works). http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/24246 You should submit a bug in our Trac system. I do not know if this is a bug in the portfile or a bug in base. Another problem with this portfile is that it downloads gmp-4.2.1.tar.bz2 again into /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/gmp- cxx-wrappers although it already exists in /opt/local/var/macports/ distfiles/gmp. That should be corrected as well. It should use the existing distfile in the gmp directory.
Hmmm... I found the doc here <<http://ppl.darwinports.com/>>. I 'thought' that macports is simply the latest darwinports - is that not correct? (I did mention that I am a newbie, yes?). Should I try to install it with 24245, or should I wait until it is resolved? Bug submitted. In any case, thanks for your work on this project and your quick reply.

Darwinports.com is a parasite on the MacPorts project. It is someone attempting to make a cheap buck off of other people's work, and is, as you discovered, not reliable. On 11 Jul 2007, at 21:06, Daniel E. Bunker wrote:

Is that right? What a dick! I've been confused by this too. I presumed that the information there was reliable. malcolm

Hi Everybody, I have been trying to get the gnome port to install for the last week to no avail! Has anybody gotten it to install? I have a Powerbook and little disk realestate, so I would hate to use fink. Can anyone give me pointers who to contact about it. Do I have to go over to the gnome lists? I have posted here a few times and have not gotten an answer, so that is why I any not giving any specifics. Thanx in advance Keith.

Looking at the bug reports from yourself and paul beard (google for your error message and you'll see it) both died processing es.po in the gdm docs dir. Checking the svn log for that file, I see this: http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/gdm2?view=revision&revision=5000 So it looks like there was a bug; its fixed in release 2.19.4 (not in macports yet). You could wait for the maintainer to update to a working version or write your own local portfile for gdm (this isn't very hard, its described in the manual)
Can anyone give me pointers who to contact about it. Do I have to go over to the gnome lists?

If you reply to your own thread it makes it easier for others to find what you said before, without you having to repeat yourself.
Thanx in advance Keith.

That's one of the reasons the project name was changed to MacPorts, so that we could own all the relevant domains so there was no more confusion.
