Hi, I have 'git' install, but I am not sure if I have the 'svn' bridge install as well ("the part to run 'git svn'). So I tried to do sudo port install git-core +svn on Mac. But I end up getting: ---> Activating git-core @1.6.3.3_0+doc+svn Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: Another version of this port (git-...
After trying to install ruby19 on my machine (PPC, Mac OSX 10.5.7) using the following commandline sudo port install ruby19 the version of ruby didn't change ruby -v => ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [universal-darwin9.0] I assume that i have two versions of it installed on my mac, but how do i use the latest one now? ...
I guess the title says it all. Building from source outside of macports is a breeze. Building with macports takes forever and seems to freeze the os every so often. Is this typical behavior? Although it seems like a nice packaging tool for os x, if I have to go through this pain every time during every install I think I'll do without...
I'm considering installing macports on my mac so I can have easy access to *nix dev tools/apps. However, I'm wondering if there are any risks. I'm ok with the inevitable compatibility issue from time to time (hear snow leopard + macports has issues) but I do not want the stability of my "core" mac system to be effected. I'm also curio...

I was recently installing Inkscape with MacPorts through a Mac OSX Leopard Terminal using "sudo port install inkscape" And during the search-and-download for dependencies, many of these type of comments were printed: ###################################################################### # As MacPorts does not currently have a post-de...
I've compiled a Python module using my own Qt4 library located in ~/opt/qt-4.6.0/, but when I try to import that module, the dynamic libraries that get loaded are from my MacPorts Qt4 installation. $ /opt/local/bin/python2.6 >>> import vtk objc[58041]: Class QMacSoundDelegate is implemented in both /Users/luis/opt/qt-4.6.0/lib/QtGui.fr...

I'm trying to build some of our software, which was designed to run solely on Linux, on MacOS X. We are using CMake and I installed MacPorts so I could easily get CMake along with some of the third party libraries that we depend on. Now the problem is that CMake doesn't appear to look for libraries from MacPorts by default so several of...
I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. I installed the new XCode Tools and the X11 optional install. I upgraded to the new Snow Leopard binary of MacPorts, did a port selfupdate, reinstalled all ports and ImageMagick wasn't working. I uninstalled the ImageMagick port, reinstalled it, and got the following error trace: $ sudo port inst...
I've tried to get postgresql 8.4 via MacPorts (on Snow Leopard) but it seems that the dependencies are endless - including getting older version of stuff that is already available in Snow Leopard, kitchen-sink and who knows if eventually I end up with windows 7 ... Is there a way to get only those dependancies absolutely necessary to ru...

I'm new to all things shell/binary, and was installing git (I understand scm is a good thing from being on SO). My internet hiccuped partway through, however, and the installation stalled. It interrupted a tar.gz download, and I don't know quite how to resume where it left off. Here's the output: computer:~ Alex$ sudo port install git...
I'm following a tutorial of making desktop apps. with python and qt4, I downloaded and installed qt creator ide, created the .ui file and then I had to convert it using pyuic4, I've been trying a lot of things and still can't do it. I thought that pyuic4 would be installed with Qt creator IDE, but it seems that's not the case, so I inst...
I've managed to get my install all screwed up as I'm a newbie and messing up is what I'm good at. 1) Can anyone reference a credible set of setup instructions for this stuff? 2) Can I just uninstall and start from scratch (passwords and all) through macports? I tried and a bunch of mysql directories stuck around after the unistall, WTF...
