Error in w3m Portfile
Installing w3m fails because in the portfile the line checksums md5 ba06992d3207666ed1bf2dcf7c72bf58 contains spaces rather than a TAB. -- Piet van Oostrum <piet@cs.uu.nl> URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: piet@vanoostrum.org

no, either should be fine. (and it checksums fine here for me). Perhaps if you explain what problem you're actually seeing someone on the list will be able to help? -- Daniel J.

I got this error: ---> Fetching w3m ---> Attempting to fetch w3m-0.5.2.tar.gz from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/w3m ---> Verifying checksum(s) for w3m Error: No checksum set for w3m-0.5.2.tar.gz Error: No checksum set for w3m-0.5.2.tar.gz Error: Target org.macports.checksum returned: Unable to verify file checksums After replacing the spaces with a TAB it compiled without problems. -- Piet van Oostrum <piet@cs.uu.nl> URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: piet@vanoostrum.org

That doesn't make sense to me. I've never seen that error message before and, like Daniel, I cannot reproduce it here. Are you sure your MacPorts and your ports tree are up to date? Try "sudo port selfupdate" then try installing w3m again.

Sorry, I can't help it. I just copied the error messages from the Terminal window. And I had done a selfupdate just before. I usually do that before I install or upgrade. I am now at 1.60. I did an upgrade of w3m (which installed the same version) and now it succeeds with the original Portfile. So maybe the port was left in an inconsistent state after a previous install or upgrade and just the time change of the Portfile triggered a complete reinstall.
