The steps to take appear below (apologies if they are more detailed
that
you need); steps 1, 4, 5 and 7 are the same as the normal steps for
installing MacPorts from source [1].
I started with a "clean" source install of MacPorts 1.5
The initial "port selfupdate" is updating to 1.6 (if I am to believe
the messages on my screen).
Fails in the expected way - the sqllite errors
7. Run "./configure", "make" and "sudo make install" as normal [1].
8. If you haven't set your shell variables, do so at this point.
If you
use bash, follow the guide [5]. If you use tcsh (which I believe
is the
default on Panther), then running
setenv PATH /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$(PATH)
at the command line should be sufficient.
9. Run "sudo port selfupdate" as normal [6].
selfupdate done!
10. At the command line, you should now find that, when run on any
portname (e.g. xmlcatmgr) the "port info <portname>" and "port install
<portname>" commands fail with
Error: Unable to open port: invalid command name "ui_channels"
However, you should find that "port search <portname>" works
fine.
(In general, it appears to me that the port commands that fail with
the above message are the ones for which the "port" command attempts
to open a Portfile.)
Yes. That is exactly what I see now.
Next steps?
