When some install don't complete, you can end up with files stuck in /opt/local/var/macports/build. To suppress them, you can either rm -fr * in this directory, either 'port clean --work all'. If your macports is set to build and keep packages (archive mode), you may want to delete them (they should be located in /opt/local/var/macports/package/Your_system/Your_Arch/). Also you may want to not keep distfiles which are the source fetched by macports to build things -> port clean --dist installed. Note that 'all' may not be the best keyword to use, but I don't know of a better word for things that you tried to build but may not be installed. > Are there any other ways? > > I'd suggest to have some web site up to answer questions like this, > preferably on http://www.macports.org/ . > Or is it there and I simply missed it?
