Thanks again. I put /private/opt back in /opt, removed the Cisco vpn client (I no longer work there, so I don't need it), performed the rebuilding step to fix the libintl problem, and reran `port install gnucash`. The only thing that didn't go smoothly was that `port -duf uninstall foo` didn't remove the old unactivated versions of foo as suggested by http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/ProblemHotlist so I had to run a bunch of uninstall foo @version commands by hand. It didn't quite take all 15 hours I guessed originally... That's one bizarre bug.

Yes, but when one's company says "here's the vpn client package, and it's preloaded with a list of configurations for our various incoming vpn servers", it's easy just to install it and see that it works. Also, this was over a year ago, so it may have been the newest version at that point. Since the installer was what messed everything up, I don't expect that upgrading to a later version would have fixed it. -E _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
