emacs-mac-app port build failure
Hello, I wanted to de-install and re-install Emacs on my mac (10.5.8). I de-installed Emacs.app by simply deleting the contents. I then downloaded the emacsformac dmg installer but it just doesn't work: the application crashes at launch. I tried installing through macports and it fails to build.Error: org.macports.build for port emacs-mac-app returned: command execution failed Please see the log file for port emacs-mac-app for details: Error: Processing of port emacs-mac-app failedAfter that, I tried looking for other emacs related files on my computer in case they were conflicting with the new ones (so removing /usr/bin/emacs and /usr/share/emacs), but that didn't help.Thanks for any tips!

Fatal install error for dbus & policykit using debug only
Hello all,
I was installing a port with dependencies on dbus & policykit using the
flags -vd. dbus was failing with:
Error: org.macports.install for port dbus returned: launchctl: Couldn't
stat("/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServicesLocal.plist"):
No such file or directory
nothing found to load
Looks like it is related to the dsc command.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4749 But I found the error did not occur if
I omitted the -vd and the install completed. Same thing with policykit,
and possibly others since I stopped using debug.
Does anyone know why using debug would cause this problem?
Mark

Re: UNIX commands font
Personally, coming from NetBSD I do use tcsh as my interactive shell. But csh derived shells are terrible to code, so I end up writing Bourne shell scripts when I need some advanced command.

I bought some excellent books published by O'Reilly, which focus on the UNIX subsystem of Mac OS X. I can recommend these books or others like it. That's the best way. Also first thing to learn is the shell. Read the man pages and get some books specific to the shell you are going to use. ksh is my preferred shell, bash is probably used more. -- Primary Key: 4096R/1D31DC38 2011-12-03 Key Fingerprint: A4B9 E875 A18C 6E11 F46D B788 BEE6 1251 1D31 DC38 ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

Yes, FreeBSD defaults to csh which is a link to tcsh; OpenBSD which is my primary platform uses ksh or rather their own modified pdksh. They have incorporated some bash-like "things". NetBSD defaults to sh, but you can choose other shells, either csh or ksh - bash is not included in the default installation. -- Primary Key: 4096R/1D31DC38 2011-12-03 Key Fingerprint: A4B9 E875 A18C 6E11 F46D B788 BEE6 1251 1D31 DC38 ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
