If you get the same error, then do it again with debug output and
show it to us.
sudo port clean --work freetype
sudo port -dv install freetype
Sigh of relief!! When deadlines loom, one doesn't necessarily do
the right
thing.
I have been trying too many things to be clear about what happened,
but,
anyway
your clean command seems to have been what I was failing to do,
after my
original sin of putting stuff into /opt/local/bin from /opt/
local.old/bin.
I have managed now to install some of the things gv depends on,
which is a
big advance, but I haven't yet had a go at gv. I decided that since
there
might be various junk lying around, I should install the
dependencies one at
a time, starting each with a clean. Anyway, I feel I am now a long way
forward, knowing about the clean.
Question: would it have worked just to clean gv, or would gv
dependencies
have remained dirty?
That would only have cleaned gv; the dependencies would have remained
how they were (whether that was dirty or clean).
You might be able to:
sudo port clean --work all
