Activating python25 in a second MacPorts instance fails for me when my first instance already contains an activated python25.
According to http://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.source.multiple I can install more than one MacPorts instance on the same host. However, when I do this and then install bzr which installs python25 in a second instance, I eventually get the following error output: -------------------- ---> Fetching python25 ---> Attempting to fetch Python-2.5.2.tgz from http://www.python.org//f tp/python/2.5.2/ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for python25 ---> Extracting python25 ---> Applying patches to python25 ---> Configuring python25 ---> Building python25 with target all libpython2.5.dylib ---> Staging python25 into destroot ---> Installing python25 2.5.2_5+darwin_9 ---> Activating python25 2.5.2_5+darwin_9 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /Applications /MacPorts/MacPython 2.5/Build Applet.app/Contents/Info.plist already exi sts and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port p ython25. Error: The following dependencies failed to build: py25-bz2 python25 py2 5-crypto py25-curl curl pkgconfig zlib py25-docutils py25-hashlib openss l py25-paramiko py25-socket-ssl py25-zlib Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. -------------------- Is there a way around this? Perhaps another configure option, similar to the --with-tclpackage option, such as --with-apppackage is needed? I could then configure my development MacPorts install with something like ./configure --prefix=/opt-dev --with-tclpackage=/Library/Tcl/macports-dev --with-apppackage=/Applications/MacPortsDev Of course, I can work around this by moving /Applications/MacPorts out of the way while I work with my development instance, but it would be nice if I didn't have to do that. Or maybe I'm not understanding something correctly.
