However on my intel macbook it worked fine. But i cant get it to
work on my PPC. Both Computers have Mac OS Tiger 10.4.10
Installed.
How odd. I don't know what it's talking about.
Can you try "sudo port clean readline" and then "sudo port -dv
install readline" and see what it says?
thanks for your answer. It goes good until this point. Then this
happens :

Don't forget to Reply To All so your reply goes to the mailing list
too, not just to me.
It looks like this line in the post-destroot proc may be triggering
the problem:
delete ${destroot}${prefix}/share/info/dir
You could try removing that line from the portfile to see if that
really is the culprit. If it is, then the question would be, why does
this not cause a problem on your Intel Mac or my Intel Mac? I guess
on your PPC iMac share/info/dir never gets created in the first
place, and therefore is not there to be deleted. But why? And is
there a way to write a delete command that doesn't complain if it
fails? What's the difference between "delete" and "file delete"? (You
could try "file delete" instead of "delete" at the beginning of the
line and see if that makes a difference.)
Can you tell me where i can find this portfile ? i am a little new to
MacPorts. Before i used fink.
"port file readline" would have shown you. "port edit readline" would
have let you edit it.

Ok, i found the portfile. But such a line is not there. The file looks
like this :

PortSystem 1.0

Oh. Your readline port is very out of date. Probably all your other
ports are too. You need to get into the habit of running "sudo port
sync" before you begin installing ports on a given day, to pull the
new port definitions from our server. readline is currently at
version 5.2.001, not 5.0.005. Sync, then try installing readline
again. Presumably this problem has already been fixed. Also run "port
outdated" to see what other ports you may need to update now. Also do
"sudo port selfupdate" occasionally to make sure you have the latest
version of MacPorts base.
