Are you up to date with the ports?

- sudo port selfupdate
- sudo port upgrade outdated

yes (as of this afternoon: I was waiting for a fix to the pulseaudio port which happened today (my thanks to the maintainer!), so I did the above a couple of hours ago. and afterwards the
`port install meld' (which I had uninstalled previously during the 
pulseaudio/webkit-gtk hickup)

If you run `port notes dbus` it should tell you how to enable the service

thanks. the notes say

"sudo port load dbus" should start the service(s).

I have done that right now but it did not solve the issue with `meld'...
:(. the error message is
now reduced to

"** (meld:70489): WARNING **: 19:46:07.080: Failed to load shared library
'./gtksourceview/libgtksourceview-4.0.dylib' referenced by the typelib:
dlopen(./gtksourceview/libgtksourceview-4.0.dylib, 9): image not found
Meld requires GtkSourceView 4.0 or higher.
"

so, indeed, the dbus related complaint went away (but unfortunately w/o
solving the issue).


I haven't the Mac available right now, otherwise I'll give you the
command
that I don't remember by heat

(Please keep the discussion in the list replying to all...😉)

right, sorry. my fault...

Did you enable dbus as per its notes?

that was fast... :). no, I did not. didn't see any notes either. you
mean
"notes of dbus" rather
than "meld" I presume? if dbus installed/updated recently during some
larger `port upgrade outdated'
run, I must have overlooked those notes.

how can I find those? or what do I need to do?

and a small pop up window from the `meld' GUI telling "Meld requires

`port installed' lists

I don't understand the

hint nor what I can do about it.

seen with 10.15.7 and current MacPorts.

any ideas?

thx/joerg
