MacPorts is located in /opt/local/bin; add that directory to your path. -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com

Jason, I reckon that your problems will be solved by fixing the last "export PATH". Unless it's a typo in your email, it appears that you forgot the ":$PATH" at the end of your last export PATH. There's a priority in the ordering that's normally not super-critical. In your case, if you want MacPython to be used instead of other installed Pythons, that requires MacPython to be at the front of the PATH variable. The same is true regarding MySQL. FYI.

I combined my .bash_login AND .bash_profile into .profile as instructed and also tried deleting them and leaving only .profile, but the PATH will not report the MacPorts path

files:

.bash_login:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"

.bash_profile:

export PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH

# Setting PATH for MacPython 2.5 # The orginal version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:${PATH}" export PATH

combined into .profile:

## # DELUXE-USR-LOCAL-BIN-INSERT # (do not remove this comment) ## echo $PATH | grep -q -s "/usr/local/bin" if [ $? -eq 1 ] ; then PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin export PATH fi # # Your previous .profile (if any) is saved as .profile.mpsaved # Setting the path for MacPorts. export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH export DISPLAY=:0.0

export PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH

# Setting PATH for MacPython 2.5 # The orginal version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:${PATH}" export PATH

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sb

Thanks for any help with this,
