Any particular reason why you uninstalled the old version first? Usually you just install the new version on top, or even more usually run "sudo port selfupdate" which does it for you. > :error:main Failed to install m4 > :debug:main > /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_m4/m4: > too many open files Too many open files... Are you doing anything else on your computer that would open lots of files? Try closing other applications or restarting the computer. To be honest I am having similar problems on one of my Mavericks machines still running 2.2.1 but my problems began after an improper shutdown and I was assuming some kind of OS corruption and was planning on reinstalling the OS when I have some time, so please let me know what the solution turns out to be for you. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
