I was hoping to bypass Macports altogether, because every time I try to install something it ends in an error. For example, after trying to install glib2 (which took so long I had to leave it running over night), it left me with this: Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/bin/autopoint already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port gettext. Error: The following dependencies failed to build: gettext pkgconfig Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
