I'm new to MacPorts. I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.10. By mistake I downloaded and installed the Leopard version of MacPorts.

I've tried uninstalling MacPorts as described in the MacPorts FAQ however when I run the Tiger version of the installer it first asks me if I want to upgrade the installation and then seems to get stuck during the installation process. I suspect that some part of the Leopard installation has not been removed.

How can I fix this?

Follow the uninstall instructions in the FAQ, but also remove the MacPorts receipt in /Library/Receipts. Then try installing the Tiger version again. If it gets stuck again, tell us exactly where.

I've gone through the uninstall process again.

The only thing I can see in /Library/Receipts is

com.adobe.Reader

When I run the installer, I get to the Install step and then click the "Upgrade" button. The installer gets to the "Finishing Installation" step (about 90% of the way through the progress bar) however then it stops.

Sorry about that: I didn't mean the Receipts folder in the Library folder in your home folder (which on my system also contains only a folder called com.adobe.Reader); I mean the Receipts folder in the Library folder at the root of your hard drive (which should contain many many items, including something like MacPorts-1.5.0.pkg). I have updated the uninstall instructions so that they also remove the receipts, so please follow them again, then try installing MacPorts again. http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/ FAQ#HowdoIremoveoruninstallMacPorts The button in the Installer only reads "Upgrade" if a prior receipt is found, and reads "Install" otherwise. Dear developers: is there a good reason why the package is called "MacPorts-1.5.0.pkg"? Wouldn't "MacPorts.pkg" be better? Otherwise people installing subsequent versions will end up with multiple receipts...
