We would need to see what is in the above-mentioned main.log file to know what went wrong here. I don't see any tickets filed for p5-file-basedir in the issue tracker. > running sudo port clean zim and sudo port upgrade outdated doesn’t seem to > help.

See this latest ticket: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27457 If someone can provide a fix that will finally enable everybody to install help2man without this recurrent problem, I would be grateful. Or perhaps someone could open a dialog with the developer of that software and seek assistance. > I’ve tried installing a couple of other things with mac ports, and they also > fail to install.

Again, provide the main.log files. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
