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 Your readline port is very out of date.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 Also run "port outdated" to see what other ports you may need to update now.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.

Ok, i will try this when i am at home today evening. I synced about
2 weeks ago and made a selfupdate about 2 weeks ago. Update
Frequency seems to be very high :)

Oh. I'm sorry. I misread. You're not installing readline, you're
installing readline-5. readline was updated to 5.2.001 way back on
2007-03-19, but readline-5 is still at 5.0.005.

Why are you installing readline-5 instead of readline? It looks like the only port that depends on readline-5 is ghc, and that only on Mac OS X 10.3.x. But you said you're running 10.4.10. Are you trying to
install ghc?

No i am trying to install subversion and readline is a dependency
of it. I don't know if i need 5.2, the only thig i did is :

sudo port install readline

I don't really care which version of readline i get. But thats all
automatic by MacPorts.

Ah yes, subversion depends on apr-util, which depends on sqlite3,
which depends on readline. It does not depend on readline-5, and
readline-5 would not satisfy the readline dependency. So we're back
to my previous suggestions regarding potential changes to the
readline port you could try:

http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-August/ 005009.html

The Problem is, that this line :

 delete ${destroot}${prefix}/share/info/dir

is not in the portfile. there is a generall line inside, which goes over all
/share/info/*.

I tried to delete this line, but the same problem as before.

Either you are looking at the wrong portfile, or your portfiles are months out of date. The relevant line has been that way since February 2007, as per this changeset:

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/22017

This is the file we're talking about:

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/ devel/readline/Portfile?rev=26187

It is located at the path devel/readline/Portfile within your ports tree.

Line 41.

What is the first line of your readline portfile -- what is the output of this command?

port file readline | xargs head -n 1

On my system, it is as follows:

# $Id: Portfile 26187 2007-06-15 10:36:51Z [EMAIL PROTECTED] $

And this is what you should see, too, if your ports tree is up to date.


ok, i fixed the problem:

i just created

/opt/local/var/macports/build/ _opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel _readline/work/destroot/opt/local/share/info/dir

this directory was missing

It sounds like you worked around the problem, rather than fixing it. You may have succeeded in installing the port today, but if you ever need to reinstall it, I see no reason why the same problem would not occur again. It would be beneficial to discover why the problem occurred in the first place. Maybe a change needs to be made to the portfile. We won't know until someone who's experiencing the problem (you) tries out the changes suggested above to see if they help or not.

Another possibility would be to explicitly write the code so that the file is only deleted if it exists, similar to this:

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/27782
