Yes, MacPorts requires the Xcode command line tools, and Xcode. These are two separate installations, as of OS X 10.7 Lion. > If it's not a problem, then at this point, I should be able to launch the > hypermail binary with a './hypermail' and it should run.

Xcode does not need to be running to use MacPorts, it just needs to be installed, as do the separate Xcode command line tools. You didn't get an error while installing hypermail, so I would not suspect absence of the Xcode command line tools to have been a problem in this particular case. But you should install them to prevent future problems with other ports. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
