Thanks, Andrea, Harald,

I've just done a full check of my HD, using the Macs disk utility and the more thorough Apple Hardware Test. Both passed with no errors, as expected.

Then removed all traces of macports I could find on my machine, first by checking the directories listed in the guide, then by doing a search for "ports", ""macports" and "darwinports". Then reinstalled 1.9.2 from the disk image I downloaded earlier. I checked with a "port installed" and it found nothing.

I just did a port install of emacs, a couple of complaints with ncursesw and ncurses, and had to go force activation for each. But it finally installed and it ran with no errors when I opened it.


Error logs at bottom of mail.


I'm now trying gimp2, and I'm having a similar problem - 3rd log at bottom. I can't empty out /opt/local/bin because there are other programs in the same directory not put in there by macports. It's just complained about gperf, while writing this mail. It's a bit tedious to install like this... is there some other clean action I missed?

Regards,
Aba-Sah

This is the last thing I tried. Which also failed. The output I copied into
my mail from the terminal are the results from the uninstall.

 From uninstall instructions:
"If you need to uninstall MacPorts, and your port command is
functioning, first uninstall all the installed ports"

your port command isn't functioning so if you still intend to wipe out
current installation skip the uninstall part and go to the remove
part.
