Hi I am running a fresh install. I have searched through the mails and havent seen this (though maybe i missed it!). I using leopard, got the dmg MacPorts-1.5.0-10.5.dmg and ran the installer. It seems to hang about 70-80% of the way through. Is this a known issue? 1.8GHz PowerPC G5. Thanks Eoghan

the contents of config.log should give you an idea of what the problem is.

Thanks Adam, any idea where the config.log is?

should be in the directory you ran configure from

He didn't run configure himself; he ran selfupdate. eoghan, have you installed Xcode 3? You'll need that.

You're right, sorry missed that. IIRC for Xcode 3 you'll also need to install the "UNIX Development Support" packages which I don't think are selected by default. Cheers Adam
