Hi Teresa, If you are using Mavericks, you will need to download the new install package from the macports sight. You probably need to update XCode as well if you don’t have 5 installed. Hope that helps. On Dec 13, 2013, at 10:58 PM, Teresa Cochran vegaspipistre...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, all, I

Okay, here are the latest instructions I can find. But it's kind of a nightmare in my opinion; you are supposed to uninstall and reinstall all your ports all over again in the process! I haven't yet done this though I may decide I have to at some point. What I've done so far is this: The

Oh well, then, if you didn't reinstall all your ports, there's probably no need to run the new installer either as long as you can find that gnutar file somewhere and put it on your system. As for xcode, I already had that installed but I had to check for updates and make sure command-line

Hi, all, I have not even done a selfupdate for Macports in so long I don’t remeker the last time I did it. When I try a selfupdate I get an error message about execution failure. Is there another command I can use, or do I need to download a package via another means? Thanks, Teresa On the

Actually, I think it's xcode you need to update and make sure the commandline tools are updated. I'm really sorry to dangle this little carrot under your nose and then tell you I don't have time right now to get the info together for you but I'm just doing a very quick email check and dashing

No worries, cheryl. I have plenty of clues from that. I’ll check Xcode and see if it’s up to date. If I have more questions, I’ll scream and yell and wave my arms. :) Ok, I’ll ask for more help. :) Thanks, Teresa The Golden Age of science fiction is twelve.--Pete Graham On Dec 13, 2013, at
