As someone who is running mostly older hardware/software I have to chime
in here.
You do want to run behind a firewall, no question. I only have
experience with AT, but their routers have a firewall built-in and it
can often be tailored to your needs. For many years I ran with all ports
Maybe setting the DISPLAY is the issue. On my machine, DISPLAY in a new
terminal session is
/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.vW9b4Z3lh5/org.macosforge.xquartz:0
and presumably this is the mechanism by which Xquartz is triggered to
launch when a process in Terminal accesses DISPLAY.

Trying to fix some (a lot of) broken ports. Running into a snag with
opensp, which fails to build.
This is surprising as I must have had at some point a working install of
it. Personally I don't care at all about opensp, but I guess one or more
ports do care.

Ok, I did selfupdate Macports and tried again, and indeed it now gets past this

However, at the end it tells me that all compilers are blacklisted & it will
