Thanks Kevin; $ sudo port -v contents ruby Port ruby does not contain any file or is not active.
$ sudo mv /opt/local/var/db/dports/receipts/ruby /tmp/ $ sudo port installed | grep ruby $ sudo port -v install ruby ---> Installing ruby 1.8.5-p12_0 ---> Activating ruby 1.8.5-p12_0 ---> Cleaning ruby ---> Removing workpath for ruby $ ruby --version ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-25 patchlevel 12) [i686-darwin8.8.1] Cheers!

What does a `port contents ruby` get you? To edit the registry, you can blow away the /opt/local/var/db/dports/receipts/ruby directory, but that won't do anything about the file_map.db file. If `port contents ruby` lists nothing, then you're in the clear. If it actually lists files, then, well, I'm not really sure what to do about the file_map.db in that case. I once wrote a script to re-generate an old-style file_map.db (which port would then convert to the new-style) based on the receipts. That's certainly a possibility. Anybody else have any ideas?
