Sounds like someone needs a hug. ;-) I feel your pain. MacPorts will remove a lot of the pain, but not all. The .profile vs. .bash_profile issue is one that SHOULD be documented in the wiki. I would document it if someone would tell me how to get write access to the wiki . I don't know why Ma

One more note on that: read the text that is output by the installs. Some of them have handy notes like "You'll need to make sure this line "..." is in file xyz." It's usually very simple stuff. --- Chris Pickel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > +no_startupitem would avoid installing the relevant >

Boy if it isn't one thing it's another. So I'm trying to build the physfs version 1.1.1. Which appears to now use cmake instead of configure. No problem, there's a cmake port! Except... it's apparently a problem that I don't have 3.6 gigs of free RAM: ---> Building cmake with target all Error

Can someone "port install physfs" and let me know if it works for you? I'm particularly curious if it works on 10.4 vs. 10.3 (because it isn't working for me on 10.3). Thanks, Jeff Looking for earth-friendly

Port version 1.440?

2007-05-09 Thread Jeff Adams
I'm pretty sure that a week ago or whenever it was I first installed MacPorts, I used the DMG and got version 1.4.0 which then updated to 1.4.4 on the first "port selfupdate". This time when I ran port selfupdate I got: DarwinPorts base version 1.440 installed Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.4

I had a similar problem, in my case it was a firewall issue. I'm not sure exactly what port does, but it appears to use FTP rather than HTTP downloads? And the browser will do HTTP downloads. FTP in passive mode will connect to some random port (it's like 1000-2000 or something) on the server, w

Php5 won't install, patches fail?

2007-05-08 Thread Jeff Adams
I installed MacPorts but later had problems with readline. Turns out something else I'd installed prior to using MacPorts had installed an old version of readline in /usr/local/lib. No problem I think, I'll just remove it. However, it appears that MacPorts built itself against that version becau
