 Now, to Ryan,
 
 I followed Frank's guidance to install 1.8.2, which I have installed, over 
 1.7.  I initially thought about doing port uninstall for 1.7, but not

 1.8.2 fit in the update category and that uninstall should not be necessary.  
 Was that a mistake?   port version shows 1.8.2, and it seemed to run once I

No, that's fine.

Note that port uninstall uninstalls (and port install installs) ports, not 
the MacPorts base infrastructure. To uninstall the MacPorts base 
infrastructure, should you ever want to do so, instructions are in the guide:

 http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html 


 My problem now is that I received an Error when I tried sudo port install

is 
 unclear whether I should go directly to the

2010-03-20 Thread t...@qx.net

First, I have just realized that I have been replying to the mailing list 
incorrectly.  The error occurred because I have been using the ffmpeg mailing 
list 
and when one replies to that list, the mailing list email address automatically 
goes in the To: box, at least on my system.  I have been replying directly 
to those that replyed to my needs, and not the mailing list.   My mistake, my 
apologies.

So, to Richard DeLaurell, thanks for your reply.  I meant -d, but typed -v.  
Sorry!

Next, to Frank Schima, it seems I should not mention the 'other site', so 
hopefully you got my email with the requested information.

As background, I have been trying to install faac from a source download, and 
have not been able to get any help with the problem I have 
encountered. Continued web searching lead me to a mention of installing with

Re: New user, port selfupdate error

2010-03-19 Thread Richard DeLaurell
The man page says that -d (debug mode) implies -v.

Did you try:

sudo port -d selfupdate

to see if there is any more debug info available that way?

Sorry if this isn't helpful.

Good luck--

Re: New user, port selfupdate error

2010-03-19 Thread Frank Schima
We only support the latest version which is 1.8.2. If you just installed this, 
where did you get version 1.7 from? Please download and install the latest from 
the following link:

http://www.macports.org/install.php

What is the output of the following?

which make


Cheers!

 Hello,
 
 I am attempting to use macports for the first time.  I am not a computer 
 science person, but do have limited experience with gcc and configure/make 
 installations.  I installed macports 1.7 from a disk image, with a successful 
 completion message.  I then tried the second step of
 
 % sudo port -v selfupdate
 
 receiving the error shown in the below partial terminal output.
 
 My system is Mac PowerPC 750 ( pismo ) running OS X 10.4.11.
 Darwin Kernel Version 8.11.0
 Xcode 2.5
 gcc 4.0.1
 GNU make 3.81

 I have also tried the following, with the current port version 1.7, and 
 received the indicated Error:
 
 % cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/faac
 % sudo port install faac
 Password:
 Error: Unable to execute port: invalid command name livecheck.type

 Any help will be greatly appreciated!
 
 Best regards,
 Tom
