sudo port -f activate emacs should solve the problem.
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, this suggestion did not work:
[idsl210:/opt/local]$ sudo port -f activate emacs
Password:
---> Activating emacs
Error: port activate failed: File exists
And when I try to run the program
/opt/local/bin/emacs: No such file or directory
So I cannot seem to either completely remove the program or
completely install it. Each time it gets to the activate stage, I
get the report that the file exists.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Cheers,
Rob

Hi,
I am trying to get emacs working from MacPorts and my first try
would not launch its own X-window but ran in the xterm where I
launched it. It also reported a warning that the directory
/opt/local/share/emacs/21.4/leim
was missing, which it was when I went looking. I am not sure what
this directory does or whether its absence explains why emacs was
lamed.
I am now trying to do a fresh install of emacs but running into
problems. I keep getting this error during installation:
---> Activating emacs 21.4a_1+darwin_8
Error: Target com.apple.activate returned: File exists
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
I have tried uninstalling emacs using
sudo port uninstall emacs
and then
sudo port clean --all emacs
and still I get this same error.
Does anyone have any guesses about what might be going wrong.
As background, I have used fink since the beginning of OSX time,
used emacs on Unix for many more years before that. I am trying
to move from Fink to Macports but so far, the experience is
mixed. I left Fink because it was falling behind on new
versions. I hope MacPorts will work for me...
Thanks,
Rob
