My Environment: MacBook Pro (Intel).
OS X (Tiger) v10.4.10
Original intent: to install Ruby & ancillary files.
I have a few questions...
1) Do I need to inform MacPorts which version of code is requested
(intel vs PPC)?
Example: I'm trying to install 'readline', that is required to
install Ruby.
Looking at the variants, I see two (2). I believe I need the
'universal' variant.
[Users/Ric] > variants readline
readline has the variants:
universal
darwin
... do I have to explicitly request the 'universal'? How?
So, to install Ruby, I need readline. To install readline, I need to
rsync.
2) I tried to import/install 'readline' and failed:
[/Users/Ric]sudo port install readline-5
---> Installing readline-5 5.0.005_0+darwin_8
---> Activating readline-5 5.0.005_0+darwin_8
Error: Target com.apple.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/
lib/libhistory.5.0.dylib already exists and does not belong to a
registered port. Unable to activate port readline-5.
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
3) I also need rsync to work:
[Users/Ric] > selfupdate
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: selfupdate failed: Couldn't sync dports
tree: sync failed doing rsync
Looking at the rsync:
[/Users/Ric]rsync --version
rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29
Copyright (C) 1996-2006 by Andrew Tridgell, Wayne Davison, and others.
<http://rsync.samba.org/>
Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks,
batchfiles,
inplace, IPv6, 32-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums
BTW: I'm not too sure if v2.6.9 is working correctly. I have the
original v2.6.3(OS X) but get the same result.
It appears that I'm all tied up in knots.
Does anyone know a remedy?
Regards,
Ric.
