I tried looking through the mailing list archives and didn't see my big issue covered. Basically I've installed version 1.320 and get the following error when I try to run the selfupdate: Marshall-Rodriquezs-Computer:/opt/local/bin marshallrodriquez$ sudo ./ port selfupdate DarwinPorts base version 1.320 installed Error: ./port: selfupdate failed: couldn't open "/opt/local/var/db/ dports/sources/rsync.rsync.macports.org _dpupdate1/base/config/ dp_version": no such file or directory I checked and the folder is there, though there is a space in it which seems to be the disconnect. Is that supposed to be there? I also checked the .profile file and the recommended paths are in there, but I still have to navigate to the /opt/local/bin directory to even run the command. I should also mention that I have to use the ./ to run the command, which makes me wonder if something is set up wrong since the documentations says it should work without it. I have tried setting up the older versions of DarwinPorts before I tracked down where the current source was, if that might give any indication. If someone has had this issue or know where I could read up on it, any help will be appreciated. Thank you Marshall Rodriquez "Delay is preferable to error." Thomas Jefferson

Where is there a space? The path "/opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/ rsync.rsync.macports.org_dpupdate1/base/config/dp_version" should exist without any spaces in it. (My email program will probably insert some into this message, but there shouldn't be any.)

I don't know about .profile; I use the file ~/.bash_profile and it works fine. I include a line like this: export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin: $PATH

The space is "macports.org _dpupdate1". It's in the error message and in the folder name, so it seems like it's deliberate, but it doesn't allow things to work. I'll try looking through the source and see if it's there somewhere.

Will try this ASAP. Marshall Rodriquez Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others.

Have you manually edited the file /opt/local/etc/ports/ports.conf to reference rsync.macports.org? If so, check if there is a space after "rsync.macports.org" in the relevant line; if so, remove it.

Ok, last night I went through and removed every file and folder I could find and then reinstalled, and tried the .bash_profile to add the path. Now DP is installed and runs, though when I go to install fox or glut it seems to be trying to get them from opendarwin.org . Naturally, it just runs through those 4 servers over and over again. One odd thing is it's trying to fetch the file XFree86-4.5.0- src-3.tgz or XFree86-4.5.0-src-4.tgz , and tries to fetch it for either of my attempted installs. When I look in my sources.conf file, I see things pointed at rsync://rsync.darwinports.org/dpupdate/ dports . Am I correct that this(where the port is looking for the file) is something set server side? Marshall Rodriquez

As far as I know, rsync.darwinports.org is still the normal location for port updates to come from. Mine says rsync.macports.org, but only because I manually changed it because someone on this list said I should. But then someone else told me I shouldn't have done it. That's why I asked if you had manually edited the file. The fact that it's trying to install XFree86 suggests that you do not have all of Apple's X11 installed. I recommend you install Apple's X11 instead of building XFree86. Look in /Library/Receipts and see if you have both X11User.pkg and X11SDK.pkg. If you do not have X11User.pkg, install it from your Mac OS X CD or DVD. If you do not have X11SDK.pkg, install it from the Xcode CD or the Xcode download from developer.apple.com.
