The problem is that it refuses to recognize the uninstall command. I don't really want to go through the hassle of reinstalling macports because I have other ports installed on my machine and I don't want to have to wait until sometime tomorrow for everything to finish compiling. But if that is the only way to fix this php and uninstall issue then I guess that is what I will have to do.
$ sudo /opt/local/bin/port -f uninstall pcre @4.5_0 Password: Error: port uninstall failed: invalid command name "portuninstall::uninstall" I am really sorry for taking up so much of your time but I appreciate the help. thanks, Evan On 6/2/07, Jyrki Wahlstedt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
