Re: MacPorts vs Mac PATH Conflicts - Best Workaround???

2010-11-14 Thread joe davison
Presumably there are a variety of projects you use where which you want to use differs from project to project? I create project_name.env files in ~/bin where can set the PATH I want for that project. Then whenever I want to work on that project, I create a new terminal window and . project_na

install sbcl doesn't make the info files

2007-07-11 Thread Joe Davison
I've just upgraded my sbcl installation. For some reason, while the system builds and runs nicely, the documentation does not -- or at least not doc/manual. Here is the last part of the "sudo port -v sbcl" output: Documentation: man /opt/local/var/macports/build/ _opt_local_var_macports_s
