No, before now I have never had a need to uninstall a port so I haven't tried but when I tried to uninstall pcre, expat, etc like you said before I get the same problem about it not understanding the uninstall command.
$ ls -ll /opt/local/bin/port -r-xr-xr-x 1 root admin 68240 Jun 2 05:03 /opt/local/bin/port I will take a look at the port file you sent me but I don't really know what to look for in terms of differences between mine and yours. I have never had a reason to edit the port command but I guess it is possible something happened to it. I guess you may be right and I might need to start from scratch. It is just frustrating since this isn't the first time I would have had to completely reinstall macports (well I had darwinports and that had issues so I did a fresh install of macports a few months back). It is possible it is user error and that I am doing something wrong but I don't really use it all that often and have only installed like 10 apps since I originally installed darwinports a year and a half ago. I'll take a look at your file and try to see if anything strikes me as blatantly obvious. Thanks, Evan On 6/2/07, Jyrki Wahlstedt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Have you been able to uninstall anything else? What is the info of your port. Mine is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:conf> ll /opt/local/bin/port -r-xr-xr-x 1 root admin 68240 17 Tou 18:27 /opt/local/bin/port* (Tou comes from toukokuu, May in Finnish) I'll attach that here, you could compare. ! !
