I just installed macports and the first thing I wanted to install was the new version of ruby. I ran the install for ruby which installed several dependencies, when it got to readline I got the following message:
---> Activating readline 5.2.012_1 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/ lib/libreadline.5.2.dylib already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port readline. Error: The following dependencies failed to build: readline Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. Where it then ended the install. I tried running the install again and this time it seemed to install ruby without dependencies (since they were already installed), but it ended as: port activate [EMAIL PROTECTED] Port command started with PID 28242 ---> Activating ruby 1.8.7-p22_2+thread_hooks Error: port activate failed: Image error: ruby @1.8.7- p22_2+thread_hooks is already active. Curious if was properly installed I ran upgrade as follows: port upgrade ruby +thread_hooks Port command started with PID 28258 ---> Activating readline 5.2.012_1 Error: Activating readline 5.2.012_1 failed: Image error: /opt/local/ lib/libreadline.5.2.dylib already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port readline. Which revealed the original readline problem. I then tried to uninstall readline, but was stopped because ruby depends on it. I figured I could force-uninstall is and then reinstall it. So I force uninstalled it and then got this when trying to re-install: port install readline Port command started with PID 28316 ---> Installing readline 5.2.012_1 ---> Activating readline 5.2.012_1 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/ lib/libreadline.5.2.dylib already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port readline. Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. Any ideas here? I saw a similar problem in the archives from last year, but I didn't see a solution. Thanks, Philip p.s. I'm new to using ports, but I guess the ruby that is installed does not replace the ruby already on my system? I tried running ruby -- version but saw the same version as before... _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
