Hi,

I'm trying to install multiple ports installations for testing purposes but it doesn't work.

First I installed a port installation with the normal ./configure && make .. procedure and then another port with ./configure --prefix=/opt-test. But now the first port installation also loads the files from the second one and I can't have two separate installations.

How can I fix this?

Thanks for your help, Simon

Just if anybody else is trying to do this. I figured it out and it works with the following command: ./configure --prefix=NEW_PREFIX --with-tclpackage=NEW_TCLPATH NEW_PREFIX must be different then /opt/local (if you used the default install) and NEW_TCLPATH must differ from /Library/Tcl. Also be sure to use $PATH without /opt/local/bin (default install) or ./configure will fail. I think the best is the default path: PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin Hope this helps, Simon - -- + privacy is necessary + using http://gnupg.org + public key id: 0x6115F804EFB33229 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iD8DBQFGvGViYRX4BO+zMikRCubRAJwL/4GVpQ2U/vlPIVSkdJlqMJKUDACdEmCZ +IU51Z9inhEhfB15BZ/xBkM= =Ra2N -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Is this worth writing a FAQ entry for?

Mark

I think so. Even if it's useless for normal users but developers will benefit of this. To test a new Portfile it's best to try it on a clean system but normally I don't want to remove all my installed ports for this, so an own port installations is handy. It cost me some time figure it out even if it's real simple. So I think a FAQ entry would be good.
